You have a fascinating way of bringing out different perspectives of urbanization. I find this especially interesting from the viewpoint of an urbanized city in Japan where development and urbanization sometimes takes precedence before common sense. I feel your manipulation of images successfully emphasizing your point even further. I hope you continue your work.

Thanks, Kevin.
I think that finding unformed urbanization in the city of Japan may be able to even criticize common sense of Western urbanization.
If you ever come over to North America and see some of the cities here, I am certain that you will find many examples where common sense was forgotten or even ignored in urban development. I feel your images portray the negative aspects of the urban landscape. I am curious, do you think it is even possible for development to be in harmony with nature? Do you know of any examples in Osaka (or Japan) that shows this? When I visited Tokyo, I noticed that the tall towers, endless concrete, lights, noise, pollution of the Shinjuku district contrasted so strongly to the natural landscape and quietness of the Meiji Shrine that was not too far away. It was all very fascinating for me.

That is too difficult question. I kept thinking that all the day…And I guess that there are many unforgivable people to discuss about the common sense, indeed. But I think that I can only find the excluded people through the common sense. It is important finding out their mind. Shrine or Temple zone in the city has awed us more than necessary. There has been isolated in the city. The cause of strange contrast may be brought from those negative aspects. (excepting Kyoto, where people have their own common sense.)
