Interesting. Thank you for that perspective. I've been meaning to 
give Tsukiji a couple more runs, once with my 'blad and once with my 
Ms. I want to see if medium format or rangefinders will provide a 
different angle. I think I'll try using B&W when going through it 
with my Ms.

Now if only I can wake up. It's not getting up at 4:30 that's hard, 
it's not falling back to sleep at 4:31 after I smash the alarm clock 
that's really tough.
