Tokyo-based Kisara Okada was passing through the business district, Marunouchi, on her way to an osteopathy session last month, when the extended neck of a\u00a0construction crane caught her eye. \u201cIn the Meiji era, when the area was developed from grassland, the model was the streets of London,\u201d Okada says. \u201cYou can still find high-rise buildings that preserve traces of that history. Today, the area is undergoing redevelopment, so I\u00a0wanted to show part of that process.\u201d<\/p>\n
Okada defines the theme of her street images as \u201csites of miracles that the city has overlooked\u201d. Editing on this shot was minimal. \u201cI don\u2019t want to create painterly beauty; rather, share the small wonders that exist alongside our everyday lives,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
It was the first day back after the summer holiday break and the heat was intense, so there was nobody sitting on the benches along the street, but she spotted one lone\u00a0worker. \u201cTheir work is tough \u2013 they must continue no matter the weather, but I think he was almost at the end of his shift.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reflecting on her photo now, she adds, \u201cI\u00a0love how you can discover many layers in a single frame, and how nature and manmade come together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tokyo-based Kisara Okada was passing through the business district, Marunouchi, on her way to an osteopathy session last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[76,354,355,49,48,356,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-172857","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-canada","13":"tag-design","14":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
