A Lateral View. Donald Richie
no one would come if they could not park their wheels. They were ruined, they wept in large advertisements. Not at all. They had not reckoned on the Edo spirit. Now the merchants look forward to Sunday and even department stores spill out onto the crowded streets. They have more customers on Sundays than they do on any other day of the week. Now smiling management gives out free balloons and plastic flowers to the passing crowd, while overhead kanji dance and neon glows in the sunlight.
All of Tokyo is out walking, sauntering through the streets, enjoying that amazing display which is Tokyo.
