Tokyo CNN —It’s the biggest city in the world, a vast metropolitan area that’s home to more than 37 million people.
Onigiri – savory rice balls wrapped in nori or seaweed – have been a comfort food staple for thousands of years.

Origami, too, remains a powerful, soothing way to use such skills and step away from the fast-paced world of the modern city.
He is the face of a timeless, sedate Tokyo, an antidote to the hectic way things often feel here.
