Once, being famous and being infamous were two different things. Today, infamy no longer exists. All that matters is how many people know. If it's viewed, it's justified.

Our lives have become excessively complex. Even relaxing in a cafe is now defined as "life strategy".

Small rituals stabilize large days.

Hanzomon, Tokyo
Photo by Hiro Ohta. Gallery Satsu, Hanzomon, Tokyo. A glass table by tall windows holds a small square slice of cake on a white plate and a tall glass of dark iced coffee with a straw. Sunlight pours in, casting clean reflections across the glass surface. Outside, bare tree branches and low hedges sit beneath a vivid blue sky, blending indoor stillness with a crisp seasonal view.

Walk far enough to let thoughts finish.

Akasaka, Tokyo
Photo by Hiro Ohta with iPhone. Sunlight breaks through a canopy of green and amber leaves, casting shifting patterns across a straight stone path. Trees line both sides, their branches forming a high arch that leads the eye forward. Fallen leaves scatter underfoot. Glass and concrete towers rise beyond the foliage, blending city geometry with seasonal color beneath a clear blue sky.

What you cannot know shapes you more than what you do.

Toranomon, Tokyo
Photo by Hiro Ohta with iPhone. A glass of matcha latte rests on a pale table at Hotel Okura Tokyo in Toranomon, its bright green surface catching the ambient glow. Soft wood tones, gentle light, and a small decorative box nearby frame the drink in an atmosphere of composed elegance.

One shape orders the chaos.

Waseda, Tokyo
Photo by Hiro Ohta with iPhone. Autumn leaves form a broad heart on a stone courtyard before a timber-framed building. Columns hold a deep porch where banners flank a tall tree trimmed for winter. Pale blue tones wash over the scene, softening edges and giving the space a calm, open feeling.

Walking is our oldest ritual of becoming human.

Kita-Aoyama, Tokyo
Photo by Hiro Ohta with iPhone. A long path is covered in golden ginkgo leaves, stretching toward a soft vanishing point between two rows of tall trunks. Autumn light filters through dense yellow canopies, casting gentle warmth across the walkway. Occasional figures in the distance move through the scene, lending scale to the glowing corridor of trees.
