The path to Sensō-ji winds past stalls of fans, ceramics, and sweet taiyaki, as incense rises and time seems to slow. At the temple steps, you bow, drop a coin, and press your hands together in quiet reverence. It’s more than ritual—it’s a thread that ties us to those who came before.

“Living nearby, I saw it shift through the day.”
“Living nearby, I saw it shift through the day—vendors arranging their stalls in the morning, the growing crowds, the sudden bursts of color and energy during festivals. My style let me emphasize that vibrancy, to bring out the details that make Asakusa both familiar and full of discovery.”
