Tokyo Photo Book - 東京情景

Tokyo Photo Book - 東京情景

Tuesday, 25 May 2010

Another photo book has been added to my collection. This time I made a Tokyo one called 東京情景 - "Tokyo Scenes" and I put together the photos I have taken and shared here since I started this blog last year.

And yes, I have said before that I will have a thank you giveaway when this blog had the first anniversary a while back. It has taken me so much time to finally get to do it but yes now I'm having a giveaway keeping my words! I would like to give 2 of my loving blog readers a copy each of this little tokyo photo book to thank you for all your support over the year (and a bit) as all your comments have always made me happy and helped me keep this going :) So if anyone is interested in receiving this little book please let me know in your comments. I will pick two winners on Sunday evening!


I have made quite a few photo books over the last 5 years, all made with photoback but I've been wanting to try blurb. Maybe next time!

ALSO.... as I mentioned earlier, check out Ebony's Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide Zine! It looks woooonderful!!!

Random Tokyo Street Shots

Random Tokyo Street Shots

These are just some random shots I put together from recent rolls. That house in the third shot was so interesting when I rode past it on my bike I had to go back to get the shot. The most unique potted garden spotted in Tokyo! I wonder what people who live here are like. :)

Something from previous weeks I meant to mention and never got to:
●Received a lovely necklace I won (!) for a giveaway at gemmifer. The exact one that I got is not listed at the moment, but you can see her beautiful works here.
●Went to see Lucie Rie: A Retrospective at the National Art Centre Tokyo.
●Another post from here made me smile :)

松 - Pine Bonsai

桜 - Cherry in a vase.

竹 - Bamboo mini garden.

枯山水 - Rock garden.


All taken at random places in Tokyo this year. The rock garden is from the Japanese Garden at Hotel New Otani, would be a good place to visit if you are only staying in Tokyo and want to see a nice garden - for free! ;)

I know I had said "that's it" for sakura, but there were more sakura shots in the roll of film I recently had developed so here they are. April already seems so far away, it seems spring never really set in Tokyo this year. But I'm loving May, very much :)
