Weekend in Tokyo

Lasting images and impressions that make up several days spent in Tokyo. I. Shibuya - A traffic light where a river of people moves almost mechanically, everyone follows their own direction. II. Meiji Jingu - A temple immersed in greenery where a man and a woman, dressed in refined ceremonial clothes, precedes the bridal procession. III Back in Shibuya - I return to the heart of the crowd. IV Suidobashi - The water glides peacefully under the bridge, not giving a care what it surrounds. V. Shibuya and Intermezzo - From the crowd appears a very beautiful woman in traditional costume. VI. Zojoji Temple - A temple rite where small, high-pitched bells and a deep-sounding large drum add to the song of the monks. VII Tokyo Dome City - The unrestrained amusements of Luna Park.
