you might recognize this map,
it is a path from
Kudanshita that goes through the neighborhood of Kagurazaka and ends at Waseda, (Google
Map),
well Mateusz Urbanowicz, also known as
Matto, is a Polish artist and illustrator currently based in Tokyo, who walks this route, making these charming and detailed water colours on his way along the path,
in 2017
he began working as a freelancer so he could focus on
personal projects like Tokyo Storefronts, His latest project is Tokyo
at Night, a series of 10 watercolor illustrating the back streets of Tokyo
at night,
those who know Tokyo will find affinity in the prints in
that, even the back streets are never really dark, there’s always a vending
machine, a neon sign or a small eatery glowing from the inside that keeps the
paths illuminated,
the project, which focuses more on dimly lit back streets and empty parking lots, rather than well-known destinations, is all online, but individual prints are available for sale through an online shop as well, and no I am not on commission, I just wish I could paint pictures like these, to me they look so cool.
