- Joey (Philippines)
This photo is how I see Japan; a mixture of the old and the new. For a foreign resident in Tokyo, daily life in the city means learning and appreciating how the Japanese Society was able to find a harmony between its history, the present, and its future. Reiwa 令和, which means "Beautiful Harmony", also the name of Japan's current era, is a perfect description of how Japan and the people in it move forward while looking back at its meaningful past.

The photo was taken at an ancient Japanese town along the Tokaido highway. What captured my attention was the scenes of old couples walking together there. They have walked together the whole life. And that is exactly what, we, as young people nowadays, are looking for, but we might just have not known yet.
