Asakusa

23rd April 2016 By Robin Boag

This post serves to assuage my current ‘homesickness’ for Japan.  Home because it’s where I started on the photography trail and even now I know of no other place which I find so visually stimulating – images appearing with every corner turned, door opened or walk taken.  I give a deal of credence to the idea of a cognitive geography – that we all have imagined places hard-wired in the mind.

Having re-read Sei Shonagon’s ‘The Pillow Book’ a while ago, I like to think that one of her many lists ‘Things That Do Not Linger for a Moment’ might include the seen image which elicits the reflex reach for the camera but will never be captured.
