Some friends and I are on a new literary website about Tokyo to be launched May 1st.
The site is called Hitotoki (Japanese for "moment" or "time")
It'll be a collection of personal stories from outsiders who have passed through Tokyo, or people still living here.
Stories of specific moments at specific locations in Tokyo, that defined at least part of what Tokyo means to you.
The primary goal is good reading (so be nice), but we're also hoping that travelers and residents use the site to find new points of interest.
The requirements:
* 200-500 words
* a location
* an accompanying image if you got one
We're launching on May 1st, making the first submission deadline April 23rd,
If you've been to Tokyo and are interested in writing, here's the submission form (2kb .zip with .txt file inside)
logo design footnote:
For Non-Japanese speakers, the outer shape of each stamp is the Japanese phonetic equivelent of what's written in English.
We carved these from stone, here stamped on a kleenex.
