PROJECT
hitotoki.orgVIEW LIVE SITE »
Hitotoki.org is a collection of stories submitted by writers around the world about their personal experiences in Tokyo and New York. Each story is accompanied by a profile of the writer and associated with specific location in the city.
- Stories are plotted onto a map of each city using GPS coordinates and the Google Maps interface.
- The hitotoki logo combines a roman script contained within the silhouette of Japanese Katakana characters, carved from stones that are traditionally used for personal seals in Japan.
- Hitotoki started in Tokyo in May 2007. A Japanese-language version and New York version were released later in the year.
