A Plastic Pig in Kita-Senju

 I joined a small group of street photographers yesterday for some night-time shooting around Kita-Senju station in north Tokyo.  I hadn't been to Kita-senju before but I had explored other areas of "old Tokyo", what's known as Shitamachi.  Kita-Senju is on the Chiyoda Line and is a surprisingly busy station.  Leading away from the station are many alleys lined with izakayas, cafes and love hotels.  We explored dark and dead-end alleys I would not go down if I was alone - even in safe Tokyo.  You never know what sort of critters you might find.
