Sketches from Tokyo Part 2
Here's a few more pocket sketchbook scribbles from my recent trip back to Tokyo.
It's always great to be in Japan, I never get tired of the country or lose the desire to go back, no matter how long I'm separated from it, even if, like this time, the entire trip was spent in the Tokyo metropolis. But in fact it's the urban city that really sparked my interest when I first went, and still holds my biggest fascination even now, uptown or downtown, the people, architecture, and life. Searching for the details of humanity in the great sprawling concrete monster, that's what really attracts me in Tokyo. It's an utterly contrasted world to green and historic Norwich (which I have an entirely different kind of affection for).
