Masataka Nakano Has Been Photographing a Deserted Tokyo for Almost 30 Years www.spoon-tamago.com

an early morning in Marunouchi outside Tokyo Station (2019)One way to obscure a time period when sculpting the human body is to depict them naked.
The Japanese photographer employs this technique in his artwork by photographing a Tokyo void of any single humans.
For almost 30 years, Nakano has patiently waited outside train stations and on the streets of Tokyo, waiting for that perfect moment when all people disappear from his frame.
If you’ve wandered Tokyo with jet-lag you’ll know that this is hard to do, even in the very early mornings.
If you’re interested in Masataka Nakano’s work, some of his previous photobooks like Tokyo Nobody is available on Amazon.
