Chiyoda Subway Line, between Nishi-Nippori and Shin-Ochanomizu stations
Nikon F6 with 35mm f2 AF Nikkor lens and SB-300 flash
Photographer: Kotori Kawashima website
This is the third time I’ve run into Kawashima in Tokyo. I wrote a bit about him and his photography back in 2012- there’s a set of his Mirai-chan photos floating around on Tumblr- with over 184,569 notes, chances are you’ve seen his photos already. A tumblr search for his name will bring up a lot of stuff- including images from his newest book Morning Star.
Note the small bird charm on his Nikon- “Kotori” in Japanese is written as「小鳥」which, in English, is “small bird”.
