Thank you for the many submissions to the hashtag campaign that was held until recently.

Even in familiar cityscapes, capturing them in photos might lead to new discoveries. The photos taken this time may change in appearance as time passes. Regularly photographing the same location as a record might be interesting.

Now, let's feature and introduce some of the works collected during this campaign.

This is a photo of a station on the Hankyu Railway connecting Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. Technology is advancing at the station, and tickets are gradually disappearing. Analog timetables are also vanishing, being replaced by QR codes. How will this station change in 10 years?

A photo of signs in a night dining district. The photo doesn't convey much liveliness in the area, with the flashy light decorations appearing somewhat forlorn. Was it bustling in the past? Or is it the quietness after closing time, as the photo was taken late at night?

A photo of a cat looking at us. The gaze and presence of the cat exude a sense of dignity. This photo will likely remind you of this cat every time you pass by this path, wondering where it might be today.

Finally

How was it?
Photographing the mundane is surprisingly challenging. Why not take this hashtag campaign as an opportunity to focus on capturing not just as art but also as records? Such records often transcend time to become art.
