With “Tokyo Trippy,” Haruto Hoshi presents a collection of color snapshots taken in Tokyo.
Mostly photographed after sunset, Hoshi captures sides of the city that emerge only at night, raw and unfiltered, in neighborhoods such as Roppongi, Shibuya, Ginza, and Shinjuku. Rather than focusing on chaos or scandal, he turns his attention to people, moments, unspoken stories, and the sheer diversity of life in Japan’s megacity.

“The flow of people never ceased.
The glittering yet profoundly dark night streets were perpetually illiminated by the constant flow of people passing by, like neon lights. If only this time could continue, uneventfully, with a measure of freedom guaranteed, I would wander Tokyo’s nights forever, at an ambiguous distance, irresponsibly.”
