Now, before any environmentalists keel over in disbelief I can tell you these balloons are made from what the Japanese call “Oblaat”. “Oblaat” is the thin clear material that surrounds medicine capsules that dissolve in water. So, breathe a sigh of relief, these balloons will eventually dissolve. The idea is to write a wish and tie it to the string of the balloon then let it float off into the new year. Beautiful and poetic, an amazing way to spend my last new year in Tokyo. Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.
