Most famous for his Tokyo Nobody photo book, the photographer now provides a new series of Tokyo photos. This time it's scenes of Tokyo through a window. It sounds frivolous, but he has captured a great variety of such scenes. Outside the window, we see quite a few recognizable landmarks such as Asahi Beer's giant froth (or giant poop), Tokyo Tower, shinkansen bullet train, and the Sumida River. He seems to have concentrated on nice-looking or funky windows showing an interesting or typical outdoor scene.
