By Noah Buchan / Staff reporterWhen Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market, the world’s oldest, largest and arguably most famous, closed last year, laments echoed throughout the globe. Shen repeatedly visited the area starting from 1993 to capture the rise of Tsukiji and the people and tourists that made it come alive before it was relocated.

Tsukiji Fish Market records an objective perspective to the market’s development up until it closed last year.
