Many people gather on this street at night. What kind of time does the city spend before nightfall? I set up a fixed-point camera out of such simple curiosity.....
On weekends and nights before holidays, Suehiro-Dori Shotenkai is crowded with people. Some come to Suehiro-tei for the “nighttime” program, while others come to enjoy “food” and “drinks” and to spend a special time with their usual friends and familiar faces. I followed the changes of the Suehiro-Dori Shotenkai over time with a fixed-point camera, just like a certain public broadcasting program called “72 Hours”.
What came into view were the many people who work to support the “night” when the largest number of people gather. The documentary also showed the drunken customers who enjoy a good time.
It's 5:46 in the early morning. Garbage trucks picking up the remnants of last night. This, in fact, is the time before sunrise. Thank you, as always, for your help.
It is 11:56 on a Thursday, a transit day. Mixed in with the people heading to lunch are vendors pushing carts. They are probably preparing food.
Neon lights twinkle in the stores and the night is in full swing. It is only 7:00 p.m., but many people come and go, each in search of the flavor they are looking for.
It is 2 am. As expected, there is not a soul to be seen. Before Corona, some stores used to stay open all night, but recently the town seems to have become more relaxed.
The desire to drink is no different on a rainy day. People with umbrellas gather on a street corner of Suehiro-dori at 7 p.m. on a Wednesday night in the middle of a weekday.
