Something else I stumbled upon while doing research: a photo gallery by a guy named H.L. Tam. I have no idea who he is, just that his record of photographs of his travels are incredibly evocative and radiant. One of things I like most about his Tokyo sketchbook is that his Hong Kong based viewpoint discovered something I was looking for but didn't find in Tokyo; cracks in the firmament, the people who live on the margins, nocturnally.

His Tokyo Sketchbook in particular fits my memories of the place.

My favorite Japanese photographer remains Rinko Kawauchi, she being part of Foil with Nara and Yoichi Nagano.
