Dedicated to the Youth of Tokyo
Sorry, I know this is gonna kill y’all, but my Gallery is down for now. But fear not, as Super Husband is working day, noon and night trying to fix it (OK, perhaps not that long)...
(Brief) story behind “Dedicated to the Youth of Tokyo”
This week’s theme, from the Photo Friday dudes, is “Experimental”. I automatically remembered this photo I took in a hidden pocket in Shibuya, Tokyo a couple of years back…
No idea what the empty canisters are on the ground (probably something extremely urbane) but the scene reminded me of the Aum Shinrikyo sarin attacks, an experiment in mass murder, still haunting the Japanese consciousness, and the studied recklessness of some young Japanese, which is becoming more of a so-called “problem” for the establishment in Japan… Sociology 101, anyone?
