Tokyo Travels

The wish to travel seems to me characteristically human: the desire to move, to satisfy your curiosity or ease your fears, to change the circumstances of your life, to be a stranger, to make a friend, to experience an exotic landscape, to risk the unknown. Tokyo, the metropolitan city that is brimming with so much life and rich cultural, has always been one of my favorite cities to visit.

Mount Fuji

My brother and I right smacked at Tokyo’s Harajuku District. This place is known for it’s avenue of upscale boutiques, cafes and several leading designer brand shops. My bro and I are avid fans of Japanese street brands, like Mastermind, Porter Tokyo, Neighbourhood etc ++ WHOOOOO spell heaven.

This is the world famous Shibuya crossing! Found myself hurling into the incoming horde of people, people inseparable at first glance judging from the close proximity at which they walk, yet, thronging among the crowds, under the rain, it was clear everyone was different and distinct.

Got inspired by the shibuya crossing and made an illustration at the end of my trip.
