One day before his 36th birthday, SOICHIRO NISHIGAKI had a business appointment with ERIKO HIDAKA. However he decided that I should join them. He introduced me to her as the “real girl”. Once in a while he mets up with her to find out about her opinion on projects he is working on. ERIKO works part-time from 9am – 5pm as a programmer. She is married and has two kids, a girl and a boy.
We picked her up at home around 7pm after she had brought the kids to her parents since her husband was still working. We were heading for a restaurant on the 41st floor of the Shidome City Center in Shinbashi. I really love having dinner in restaurants above the city. Especially by night one can witness the magnitude of a new city.
However when we entered the restaurant the view left us speechless. It was gorgeous, a gigantic ocean of lights breathed majestically in front of us.

After dark Tokyo morphs into a mysterious glamourous beauty. It shines and sparkles in the darkness. The shadows disguise the small urban imperfections and the light illuminates the oscillating layers.

The concrete mesh reminds me of Araki’s corded bodies, a Japanese photographer and contemporary artist.

The fine fabric sways gracefully in the chilly wind of the Omotesando hills. The translucent layers allows the body underneath to shine through. The secret behind the effect is a mixture of clear glass on the outside and a second displaced layer of translucent acrylic on the inside.

After a 16 hours flight and 24 hours without sleep I’ve finally arrived in Tokyo on Saturday, the 20th of March and moved into my tiny apartment in Minato-ku, Minami-Aoyama 6-9-10, next to the Shibuya ward. Out of my rear window I can see one of the main artery of the city Roppongi-dori.
