I realise that this one is pretty feint. I used a hard pencil and sketched this during my lunch hour so didn't have time to fill in any details with a softer pencil. I sort of like it the way it is at the moment so wanted to post it here for my own record. This is an old railway station on the Kanda river dating back to 1912 which is on the edge of the Akihabara district in Tokyo. On the left are the railway arches of the station which have been turned into various facilities under the name Maach Ecute Kanda Manseibashi including shops, a micro brewery and a cafe. The shops sell unique items of contemporary design which were interesting to wander through. It is quite a contrast to walk past the bright and brash shops of Akihabara's electric town which is known for selling electrical goods and electrical parts and the otaku manga culture, then end up here which has a sort of northern European cultural feel.
