I watched PERFECT DAYS, to prime myself for Japan. Little did I know, the film would impact me so dearly. I had no agenda for my 5 days in tokyo. I have disappointed many people in 2024 and I came to japan to examine myself and try to be kind to others around me, even if they are total strangers.
The city was overwhelming. I decided that all I would do is hunt for the 17 Tokyo Toilets, and pay homage to each one of them. I documented each one with a Polaroid photograph, a quick sketch in my note book and to honour Hirayama (the fictional hero of a toilet cleaner in the move), I left behind a piece of paper with a game dots and knots in each toilet. I hope someone finds each one and curiously enjoys and continues the gesture.
I have a few more toilets to go, and perhaps I shall clean each one of them. I think this would make Hirayama proud.
