One of the sites documented is the old National Stadium, chronicling its transformation into the new National Stadium, and another is the Tsukiji Market just before its relocation to Toyosu Market.\u003cbr\u003eHomma’s photography possesses a uniquely cool gaze that rejects any sentimentality and portrays its subjects with a characteristic sense of distance and cool tonality; he has received acclaim not only in the world of photography but also contemporary art.
