Exile on Main Street (production diary)
This is the classic view of Yasaka Pagoda from Kyoto’s main street — a beautiful but notoriously crowded spot, often filled with tourists taking selfies and snapping photos from every angle.
With the help of generative removal and a good amount of manual cloning, I was finally able to clear the scene. You might notice some inconsistencies in the pavement pattern near the center — that’s where the original image lacked enough detail for AI to reconstruct convincingly. I could’ve spent more time refining it, but for now, I’m embracing the imperfection.
