Life in Tokyo, Japan *Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/t8mw When you think of Tokyo what probably comes to mind is a modern metropolis of millions of people - from cosplayers to robots, busy crossings to technological luxuries. Meanwhile, the tradition of 'saving' and 'giving' face means that the view of Japan that many foreigners see is somewhat sanitised and homogenised. The desire to avoid causing loss of face for oneself, one?s organization, or for others means less than sanitary can be swept under the carpet. Meanwhile, honored guests and high-ranking people are given VIP treatment in order to 'give face'. In reality Tokyo is a beautiful melting pot of a capital city that is as diverse as anywhere in the world - encompassing both the good and the bad. One person aware of this is photographer Lee Chapman who has lived in Tokyo since the end of the nineties. Initially meaning to stay just a year or two, it quickly hit him that this wouldn't be anywhere near long enough to get a real grasp of the place.
