“What remains unshaken even as time passes? I think it's the value that can be gained over time-perhaps that is historicity.

I captured Tokyo Tower, perhaps Tokyo's oldest landmark. We tend to think that as we get older, we get pushed aside by the new generation. When Skytree, a new Tokyo landmark, was built, people assumed Tokyo Tower would be no exception.

But, my first visit to Tokyo was in 2017. Eight years later, I revisited Tokyo Tower, and it still wield its power. It seems like there's more time left for Tokyo Tower. Because it has already become the heritage of old generation.”
