東京ヒゴロ [Tōkyō Higoro] #1

A close-up of a white Java sparrow looms serenely over a sprawling Tokyo cityscape — rooftops, apartment blocks, and distant skyscrapers rendered in quiet, earthy tones — and the contrast is quietly arresting. This opening volume from Matsumoto Taiyou carries that distinctive hand-crafted warmth his work is known for, balancing the intimate and the vast in a single unhurried image. A promising start to what already feels like a deeply personal series set against the rhythms of everyday Tokyo life.
