After a long day

After a long day, something about finally sitting down, relaxing, and indulging in your personal drink makes everything feel just right in the world.

Finding the perfect spot to unwind is essential. Sometimes the best places are the ones that feel like they've been around forever. The little old-school restaurants invite an immersion into their cozy and comfortable atmosphere, a refuge against the cold, sterile office where you probably have spent the whole day.

Those places are a therapeutic oasis, halfway between office work and family life. They help you feel at ease with the world and, on many occasions, are the only space where you will feel genuinely embraced and supported.

In Tokyo, things keep changing and changing, and it's just a matter of time before the old gives way to the new. So, when you find that spot that feels like home, it's all the more precious.

Here's a series of pics I took while enjoying that time myself or lurking into other's similar experiences.

The first picture is part of the book Lee Chapman and I recently published. It's a conversation about the city we call home. A conversation that we decided had to be purely visual, and that made us dance around some of the themes we are most fascinated with, accompanied by the rhythm and sound of Tokyo's streets.
