shot on brainwave 400 film, a japanese indie film only sold at one shop by the Ebisu train station. camera is a nikon L35 AF. this is my husband standing in front of a dumpling place in the neighborhood immediately surrounding Nakano Broadway. We had a night of small bites at several Izakayas after browsing Japanese movie posters at Mandarake nearby (bought posters for Belladonna of Sadness & Basic Instinct). Just a perfect spring night in Tokyo.

Particularly when traveling to Tokyo, where there are like a dozen different places in Shimokitazawa, Nakameguro, Shinjuku or Roppongi that feel like my platonic ideal of Japanese culture/society. Sit in your booth, put your earbuds in, float on a sea of tonkatsu broth. Ahhhh.
