Take a photo of a Tokyo ‘trash’ scene and share it.
The rules are simple: once you take a photo, upload it to Instagram with the hashtag “#FallingTokyo” or “#落ちてる東京” (Ochiteru Tōkyō) by the 18th of October.
We all know someone else’s trash can become someones treasure, but can it also become art?

On the 20th of October, we will hold a review based on a special Instagram challenge.
Our special guest,Masahisa Hirayama , who is known for his eccentric child-like drawings, will speak about his discoveries around Tokyo (Japanese only). We will also review our favourite works from the hashtag.

Date of review: October 20th, 15:00 – 16:30
Venue: THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku, 2F BANQUET ROOM
Participation fee: free (please note, if more than 30 people attend, there may only be standing room available).
Participation conditions: upload a photo of ‘Tokyo ‘trash’ with the hashtag “#FallingTokyo” or “#落ちてる東京” before the 18th of October.

* Please note that not all works will be reviewed.
* Even if you are unable to attend the review, you can upload to Instagram as often as you please!
