The Green Canvas of Memories

Under a brilliant blue June sky, the iconic green sign of HANDS stands tall, just as it has for nearly half a century. Hearing the news of its upcoming closure brings a wave of nostalgia. This place has been a creative sanctuary and a true landmark of Shibuya’s culture. As the city undergoes a rapid metamorphosis, its familiar skyline is quietly slipping away. While urban metabolism keeps the city alive and dynamic, watching another piece of my youth fade feels bittersweet. I captured this moment to remember the warmth of the old Shibuya before it changes forever.
