TSUKIJI MARKET
Before the Move

Description

A visual record of a vanished Tokyo.

Before the move to Toyosu, Tsukiji Market was the beating heart of Tokyo’s food culture and one of the most famous fish markets in the world.

Captured between 2004 and 2007, these photographs document a place that no longer exists in the same form today. Beyond the market itself, they reveal the surrounding streets, waterways, bridges, shops, and everyday life that defined Tsukiji for generations.

Through 73 carefully selected photographs, this collection preserves the atmosphere of a historic district during its final years at the original site.

About This Collection

Tsukiji was more than a marketplace. It was a living landscape shaped by commerce, waterways, and daily routines that had evolved over decades.

When the wholesale market relocated to Toyosu in 2018, an important chapter of Tokyo's history came to an end.

These photographs preserve fragments of that world — the workers preparing for the day, the narrow streets of the outer market, the boats and canals, and the unique atmosphere that made Tsukiji unlike anywhere else.
