You see almost everything on the streets of Tokyo. This vast metropolis of over 13 million people (not counting the satellite cities of Tokyo) is a constant hive of activity of too great a scope and volume to ever completely chronicle.
But it is the glimpses here and there into other lives and worlds that makes Tokyo such a fascinating city. Today's photo is one such moment: a fashion model photo shoot on the streets of Kojimachi in Chiyoda ward, only minutes walk from the moat of the Imperial Palace.
Kojimachi is on the south side of Shinjuku-dori Avenue just before it finishes at the Imperial Palace. It is mainly small to medium businesses, and a lot of restaurants. This particular building was no doubt chosen because of its paint-on-bare-concrete finish which is somewhat unusual in Japan. The vast majority of buildings in Japan are covered in tiles of some sort.
I only just caught this little slice of Tokyo fashion life. Perhaps it was the fact that I was taking a snap that brought the shoot to an end, but it certainly endowed an otherwise bland part of Tokyo with a moment of glamor.
