“The twenty-ninth of October was for me a Saturday like any other. As usual I put my camera in my jacket pocket in the morning and walked down to the coffee shop near the park at the west exit of Ikebukuro station, making the occasional picture as I passed through familiar sceneries.

While sitting there and absent-mindedly sipping my coffee, a thought literally flashed across my mind, one that had never occurred to me before: to fill one issue entirely with the pictures taken on this particular day. For a very long time I had been bragging about how I would need only a single day to shoot enough material.”
