"Lee Chapman’s photographs document the scenes, signages and family businesses
of the postwar Shōwa era Japan. They focus on a unique aspect of Japanese life,
and one that in Tokyo in particular is rapidly disappearing: the buildings are
long past their natural lifespans, and their occupants are reaching the end of
theirs. With most of the country’s new buildings resembling those seen in many
other cities around the world, the Shōwa era is now being recognised as
visually appealing as well as an important period"
