Tsukiji Market in Tokyo is among the largest wholesale fish and seafood markets in the world, but it has changed over the years. Once a place where men and women of all ages could work in different roles, it had elements that comprised a small town, where people were motivated by social obligations and adapted easily. Architect and designer Kei Sugiyama’s visual document focuses on the market’s rapid development and its components. He examines this area of the city, tracing the shift from rational modern architecture to picturesque nostalgia. Undoubtedly, he feels, the kind of “humanistic community” that once existed there will be needed again in the future.
