Thinking About This Photograph

 This photo was taken in Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 I photographed the entrance of a Japanese cultural house in an area where many old houses in Tsukiji 7-chome still remain.

 It is a “machiya-style” house with a front door facing the road, and has a small eaves at the front door.

 The old mortar wall adds a nice touch to the front door.

 Since the sash is made of silver-colored aluminum, I imagine it was built around 1970, but at that time it was probably the most fashionable house.

 Even now, the aluminum material doesn’t feel so old.

 I found the contrast between the aluminum sash and the mortar wall interesting, so I took a picture of it.

 The wall pattern drawn by the aging of nature is ideal for the subject of a photograph!
