A 6x12 crop taken in Tsukiji, and the first of a set of three photographs taken at this corner. This photo focuses on maximizing the amount of signage. None of the pedestrians are facing the camera. All are either walking towards shops, inside of shops, or focusing on whatever they have purchased: food, clothing, jewelry, et cetera. And yet there remains a narrow open space, free of clutter. And the contrast between the clean sky and obscurity of the similarly narrow street and store fronts is clear. And what is to be said of this contrast? Namely, the disparity between how much the eye tastes of what is down, below, and low, and how little it looks to what is above, behind, horizontal, and vertical to itself.
