Despite spending the bulk of the past three weeks in deep, crazy snow Japan, I always make time to get out in my neighbourhood when it snows even a little. And this spot, Ebara Jinja, is one of the reasons. For the conjunction of snow and the early cherry blossoms: The Kawazu Zakura.

The snow followed me home to Tokyo from Hokkaido. Light sprinkling here in Shinagawa-ku this morning.

Have a good day, all. If you’re eligible, remember to vote today.

Stay warm.
Luv&peace

Had a meeting in Gaienmae and after that went to Shinjuku, to see a show at the Nikon Salon. Went up Tocho later on. Great light around sunset. And a ton of people photographing Fuji-san.

Good morning. Good to be back in Tokyo. Left -10C in Memambetsu and arrived to 10C in Tokyo. It'll be up to 14C today. I love the snow but honestly it's nice to be a little warmer now.

Pic is from Shiretoko on Wednesday. Right before we went out on the sea ice. Magical landscape.

Luv&peace

Oooh, yes.

This will be happening in my house this weekend.
Hariyali Chicken

A delicious vibrant, herb-packed curry from Punjab. Fresh coriander, mint, spinach & green chillies give this dish its signature colour & fresh flavour. Coconut milk adds a gentle sweetness & creaminess. Unlike spice-heavy curries, this is best eaten freshly cooked

Since after my share yesterday, some of you were surprised that this exists, let me tell you a bit more about it.

"The I.C.E. St. Moritz" (infamous name today, yeah) stands for "The International Concours of Elegance" is an event celebrated in Switzerland at the end of every January.

It's wild.

Good morning. Chilly here in Tokyo but it’s 9C colder, at -7C, where I’m headed later today: Kushiro. Couple of errands to run now, here. All packed. Eldest son driving me to the airport at 11am. Couple of shots from my walk yesterday with my youngest boy. Have a great day, everyone.

Luv&peace

Kobayashi-san’s exhibition was great. It’s on until the 3rd Feb. If you’re into cars and near Shinagawa, do check it out.

Good morning. Sunny but chilly in Tokyo. Heading out with Charlie in a bit, to see this exhibition in Shinagawa. Get some coriander from the cheap veg shop in Kitashinagawa and pop into Workman in Samezu on the way home. Something to get ahead of tomorrow’s trip up to Hokkaido. Curry tonight.

#RadRide at auction today bonus feature! The 80s not classic enough? 1.3L too big an engine? Well how about this 70 Daihatsu Fellow Max? It's a proto-kei car at a mere 360cc of power upfront but seats 4! It's all original to boot for you to preserve or have fun with! DM for interest or to bid! #JDM

Never personally had a TikTok account. But would urge those of you do, and who care about Palestine, to consider your options. This is crap.

Good evening. A day that was in parts busy. Backed up and duplicated al the data from the last few days shooting with the JNTO. Did some edits. Sent some emails, sent out a couple of quotations for new jobs. Had a nice 2hr nap this afternoon.

Couple from yesterday.
Have a lovely weekend.

Back in to the outskirts of Tokyo on the Shinkansen from Takaoka. And this hits. Always one of the best remixes of this song.
