Officially known as the Central Wholesale Market, this is the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world. It is located in central Tokyo, right beside the Sumida River and the upmarket shopping district of Ginza.
Tsukiji Market will be relocated (despite considerable opposition) to a larger and slightly more inconvenient location in Toyosu - a move that has been set for November 7, 2016. After the inner market moves to Toyosu, visitors will no longer be able to walk among the colourful and dizzying array of seafood.
It is hard to describe the colour of the seafood, the frantic energy of the vendors and the atmosphere of a historic market. I hope I have captured some of them in my photographs of Tsukiji Market.
