Tsukiji Outer Market Scatter Sight Notes Vol.2: Coolness

Tsukiji Outer Market Scatter Sight Notes Vol.2: Coolness is a photographic exploration of Tokyo’s Tsukiji Outer Market—not as a guidebook, but as a living landscape of gestures, textures, and fleeting moments.

Rather than documenting stalls and products in a conventional way, this volume gathers fragments of everyday scenes: fish laid out at dawn, hands in motion, tools worn smooth by time, and the quiet dignity of work repeated day after day. Through scattered visual notes and short reflections, the book captures the market’s enduring presence—its eminence—as a place where food culture, memory, and human rhythm intersect.

This is the second volume in the Scatter Sight Notes series, approaching Tsukiji as a field of observation rather than a destination, and inviting readers to linger, notice, and sense what often escapes attention.
