Synopsis

During the final weekend of summer, Haneda Airport pulsed with the energy of travelers and those returning to familiar places. I spent three days observing the departure and arrival halls, camera in hand. A young woman radiated excitement at the prospect of her first solo journey of the season. An elderly couple embraced, reunited with their son who had ventured from their hometown after a long absence. And others prepared for flights to distant lands, embarking on new chapters in September. Mom
