A person walks outside a building at Tokyos business district in Japan
A person walks outside a building at Tokyos business district in Japan, February 22, 2016.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Toru Hanai, we see a person walking outside a building in Tokyo's bustling business district. The image, taken on February 22,2016, perfectly encapsulates the juxtaposition of modern architecture and nature that defines Japan's urban landscape. The photograph serves as a visual representation of the economic challenges faced by Japan at that time. A preliminary survey revealed a significant slowdown in manufacturing activity due to the contraction of new export orders, particularly from China. This decline in overseas demand was seen as an alarming sign for Japan's economy. The composition of the image is strikingly artistic with its vertical orientation and creative use of lines and perspective. The unrecognizable silhouette against the concrete backdrop adds an air of mystery to the scene while emphasizing the importance of individuals within such vast financial districts. Tokyo's vibrant atmosphere is palpable through this snapshot - a city where tradition meets innovation, where ancient temples coexist with towering skyscrapers. It showcases both the geometrical precision found in Japanese architecture and the dynamic energy flowing through its streets. Toru Hanai skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys deeper messages about society and environment through his lens. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect on Japan's economic challenges while appreciating its unique blend of old-world charm and futuristic vision.
