This is the famous shrine in Kagurazaka. This is the red shrine. 這是神樂阪有名的神社。這是座紅色的神社。

I came from Australia three years ago to do a book called Graffiti Japan. 為了完成一本名叫《塗鴉日本》的書，我三年從澳洲來到這。
I'm a photographer and graffiti artist. 我是位攝影師，也是位塗鴉藝術家。
I would imagine they probably got a couple of thousand dollars to paint, 我會想像他們可能為了數千元而畫，
but often the graffiti artists do it for free as well, 但這些塗鴉藝術家也常免費作畫，
because they're gonna get their work up big in front of everyone in Tokyo. 因為他們將在東京每個人面前展示他們的畫作。
In Japan there are two types of graffiti work. 在日本有兩種塗鴉畫。
You've got the guys who go out bombing and doing it illegal [illegally], 你可能碰過一些人在戶外恣意並且非法塗鴉，
and then you've got the commissioned graffiti work, pieces like this where you can... 而你也看過一些受委任的塗鴉作品，這樣的作品是……
you only have to look at it and realize it is actually a serious...uh, an art form. 你只需看過一眼便知道它的確是個認真的……嗯，藝術作品。
This kind of stuff is done by professionals, and this kind of work takes years to accomplish, 這樣的畫作是由專家畫成，而這樣的作品需要數年才能夠完成，
and that's the difference between people bombing the streets and just writing their name. 那便是和街頭恣意塗鴉簽名的不同之處。
There's definitely a cultural buzz happening here which it seems like... 在這激盪出了文化迸發，這有點像……

This is the main drag, the main boulevard, but just behind the first row of buildings -- 這是主要街道、最繁華的街道，但在第一牌建築物之後，
just in the back streets here -- you find a completely different world. 僅在這裡的小巷弄中，你會發現到一個完全不同的世界。
It's a much more intimate network of little lanes, quirky shops, cafes. 這裡是小巷、奇特店舖和咖啡店更加緊密的網路脈絡。
So, it's a much more kind of human quality in the back streets. 所以，在小巷弄中多了許多人文的氣息。
Tokyo's an interesting place to live because the buildings are always changing, 東京是座很有趣的居住城市，因為建築物總是瞬息萬變，
I mean much more rapidly than in any other city I've been in. It's almost like they're disposable, 它的改變比我所待過的任何城市都還要快速。這感覺就像他們是可拋棄式的，
but the pattern of that change seems to be rather stable. 但是改變的模式似乎相當穩定。
So, it's like a river. You're seeing the water rushing by all the time, but the river is always there. 所以，這就像是河流。你隨時都可看到河流流動，但是河流卻總是在那裡。
That's really the best way I can think of the experience of being in Tokyo. 那是我能想到用來形容在東京的生活經驗最棒的方式。
It's like it's continually changing, but it's somehow eternally the same. 它好像不停地在改變，但卻始終如一。
Mostly the city looks kind of random and chaotic, 大部分的時候這座城市看起來有點雜亂且混亂。
but if you get down to the human scale, it actually gets very sensitive and quite responsive. 但是如果你留意人性的層面，它其實是相當敏銳且熱情的。
It's a kind of a model of what a 21st century city could be. 它是二十一世紀城市的典範。
It feels both traditional but also very, very modern, very contemporary. 它相當的傳統但也非常現代，非常地當代。
And it's actually much more comfortable to live in than I think many people who haven't visited Tokyo might expect. 我覺得它實際上住起來會比從未造訪東京的人所期望的還要舒適。
The Japanese sometimes use the word nurui, which means lukewarm. 日本人常常用nurui這個字，它的意思是溫和的。
It's like a bath that's not too hot, it's not too cold. It's very comfortable to be in. 它就像是不會太熱也不會太冷的洗澡水。待在這裡是非常舒服的。
And in fact, many people never leave. 事實上，許多人從未離開。
