A Spring Snow Night in Tokyo

  • Photographer
    Hideyuki Iwata

In central Tokyo, early cherry blossoms bloom under rare spring snow. On this weekday night, office workers passed quickly, unaware of the fleeting beauty. I used no flash—so as not to draw attention from those in the frame—relying instead on city lights and a 1/400 sec shutter to preserve the shape of falling snow. This quiet intersection, where seasons meet and people pass without looking up, reveals a moment easily missed. I hope this image lets you feel the silent emotions hidden in that night.
