Before I knew it, my camera roll was filled with pictures of "weird things" from around town.

Maybe that means I've been observing the streets without even realizing it.

I'm not actively searching for them, but for some reason, I'm drawn to certain "faces" that suddenly appear in the streets and everyday life.
Three-prong outlets on electrical panels and window frames of old buildings.
The rear views of cars—smiling, smug, or troubled.
They're moments that unexpectedly warm my heart, and while seemingly useless, they're incredibly important to me.
Yes, that's my unique focus.
Before I know it, my phone's camera roll is filled with pictures of quirky signs, weathered tiles, rusty corrugated iron, and a single glove lying on the ground.
"Wow, I didn't realize I liked these things."

The secrets behind the patterns on guardrails,
plants thriving on the streets,
the atmosphere of old coffee shops.

Adding just a few words to these fetishistic feelings could create a one-of-a-kind zine!

A focus I discovered myself, unique to me, my own unique perspective.
If I take a peek, the world is overflowing with so much "fun."

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Street Observation Society.

With respect for our great predecessors in our hearts, we present a special exhibition of unique and endearing "ZINEs and miscellaneous goods" captured from "my own" perspective.

Let's focus on my own perspective at Nakameguro SUT.
