100 Views of Tokyo

Returning to Tokyo in 2023 after the pandemic has given a fresh view of the city that I first visited in 2014 - it was like first love all over again. Many things may have changed since that first visit, but the charm remains and I have been captivated. I want to pay homage to this place that sparked in me the desire to keep drawing and being inspired, like returning to the place where it has originated. These views are not definitive places people must go when they visit, but it is more of my personal record of the memories and spots that moved me. I hope it brings a new perspective and fresh eyes to people who have been here and have yet to be here. Starting from 100 Views of Manila in 2018, then continuing 100 Views of Saigon in 2020-2021, I realized how it’s been an important part of my life to capture the moments that make me love the cities I visit.
