#スクランブル交差点

The pedestrian scramble スクランブル交差点in front of Shibuya station　渋谷駅 is probably one of the most iconic symbols of modern Japan. As a symbol of the ever-busy city with its ant-like inhabitants, it does not necessarily provoke a positive, but undoubtfully fascinating image.

Shibuya is where you spent a night if you’re not in the mood for Roppongi’s 六本木　well behaved upperclassman, the strange mixture of shady clients in kabuki-cho 歌舞伎町 or the kids in Harajuku 原宿. Or if you just don’t know where to go. With thousands of people on the streets, the atmosphere can heat up a bit, but if you’re into it, you’ll meet new dinking-companions every minute. If not, it’s a pleasure just to sit down in one of the big-brand coffee shops with their big, elevated window fronts and watch the crowd flow.

However, beware of funny foreingers, who tend to gather at Shibuya, often wearing a biarre mixture of costumes and hats with ears, trying to imitate Japanese sub-culture and thinking its cool, because they’re in Japan. While there may be some who succeed and look great, most of them are a case of vicarious embarrassment.

渋谷スクランブル交差点のすぐそばにあるもっこりした樹木の下に入ってみたら、別世界だった。
渋谷のど真ん中とは思えない。

「奥渋～渋谷 - 55mm f1.8」
1年ぶりの人間ドックで
1年ぶりの奥渋
そして久方ぶりの写欲

相変わらずコロナに気を使いつつも
街は再び華やいだ雰囲気を取り戻していて
何となく懐かしさを感じたひととき

Mighty Shibuya
