EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Shimbashi, Outside Shimbashi JR station" we are transported to the bustling streets of Tokyo, Japan. A vibrant scene unfolds before our eyes as a large group of men, all over fifty years old, engage in an intense game of Shogi, also known as Japanese chess. The atmosphere is electric with excitement and concentration as these seasoned players strategize their moves on large boards adorned with oversized pieces. Standing tall and focused, they showcase their deep-rooted passion for this traditional pastime that has captured the hearts of generations. Surrounding them are other curious onlookers who have paused from their daily routines to witness this spectacle. The diversity amongst the spectators reflects the cosmopolitan nature of Tokyo itself - a melting pot where cultures seamlessly blend together. This snapshot encapsulates more than just a game; it represents the spirit of camaraderie and shared joy found within communities across Japan. It serves as a reminder that amidst the fast-paced city life, there is always room for leisurely pursuits and cherished traditions. Through Jon Burbank's lens, we catch a glimpse into an authentic slice of Japanese culture - one filled with laughter, friendly competition, and timeless connections forged over a board game.
