Tokyo, Japan - June 9, 2026: A man in a dark suit walks away from the camera under the illuminated gate of a narrow food street in Japan at night. Lit signs on the gate read Shokutsugai in red Japanese characters, with smaller blue-lettered panels hanging below them. The man carries a bag in one hand, and his shadow falls across the asphalt behind him. Along the street, a vertical sign reads Mitsuhashi and a black banner reads Fresh and Homemade Frites Bruges, beside potted plants and orange traffic cones. Street lamps and shop lights line the way to a covered arcade at the far end, where a few pedestrians walk. In the foreground, a decorated manhole cover sits next to a white road marking, and lit windows of a high-rise building rise behind the gate.
