Saruwakamachi was not just a streetâit was an entire mood. Brimming with performers, paper lanterns, music, and chatter, it was where urban commoners sought joy and escape through drama and spectacle.

The layered rooftops, signage of theaters, and hints of crowds create a world both grounded and dreamlike. In this moment, art serves as time travel.
