Nothing says “mi casa es tu casa” like a bouquet of long-dead flowers smooshed lovingly to a window grate.

窓の格子に結ばれた枯れた花束が、なんとも言えない「ようこそ感」を醸し出している。上はさびたベランダ、下は元気な鉢植え。

A traditional Japanese row house with tiled roofing and a facade that tells its own story in textures—wood, rust, vinyl siding, and concrete. Potted plants cluster like enthusiastic greeters on either side of the entrance, while a bouquet of dried flowers hangs from the metal window bars as a cryptic offering to time or memory. The upstairs bamboo screen is barely hanging on, shielding a balcony that hasn’t seen activity in a while. Air conditioning units hum below as the evening sun casts a warm glow, softening the structure’s dignified wear.

I don’t think I posted this from the Japan trip last year. Sliding doors at the bus stop in Nagoya for the ride to Ghibli Park.

If anyone’s missing a letter G, check near the curb.

「G」を探している人、ここにいるかもしれません。縁石のそばで、舗装と謎の数値を眺めながら、ひとりアルファベットの人生に思いを馳せているようです。 🅶

A sharply angled corner creates a striking visual divide between textured tile, dark shadow, and sunlit asphalt. Painted construction markings—arrows, numbers, and symbols—are scrawled across the pavement in white spray, looking both urgent and cryptic.

The cold sun pierces through the machinery, as if trying to thaw the steel.

冷たい太陽が建設機械の隙間から差し込み、鉄を温めようとしているかのよう。

A rugged piece of construction equipment sits atop a battered truck bed, its hydraulic arm standing tall against the morning light. The sun bursts through the gaps, casting sharp flares across the frame, but the metal remains unmoved—thick with grime, hardened by labor.

Finally, an architect who understands the needs of urban climbers.

ついに、登りたくなるビルが登場。

The sharply angled facade of this modern building seems to stretch infinitely upward, its ribbed surface practically begging for a set of climbing holds. Small, angular windows jut out like footholds, adding to the illusion of an urban climbing wall. Above, the sky swirls ominously, as if contemplating the challenge.

A rare opportunity to compare two types of corrugation in their natural habitat.

波板の破れ目から、さらに波板が覗くという奇跡のコラボレーション。

A bicycle leans against a weathered entrance, its pristine white wheel in stark contrast to the textured, worn-out surfaces behind it. The fiberglass sheet, cracked and curling, reveals yet another layer of corrugated metal beneath—an unintentional study in material durability.

Brooms are commiserating behind glass, swapping stories of dust battles and neglected corners.

ガラス越しにたたずむ箒たち。今日も掃除されることなく、埃まみれの思い出を語り合う。

A closed storefront with a striking red-tiled façade sits quietly under the afternoon sun. The metal shutter is drawn, its surface catching faint reflections of the street. To the right, a glass door reveals a dimly lit storage space where brooms lean against the wall, frozen in time.

A dry cleaning shop enjoying a quiet retirement—no more pressing engagements, just a slow fade into textured memories.

静かに隠居生活を送るクリーニング店。アイロンがけもなく、時とともに風合いを増すのみ。

The faint lettering above the entrance still whispers its past life: a dry cleaning shop, once tending to crisp collars and spotless suits. Now, its sign is barely legible, its doorway dark, and the boarded-up window offers nothing but silence. Grass and weeds have taken over the front, growing where customers once stood

A beauty salon frozen in time, its elegance now softened by years of quiet aging.

時の流れに取り残された美容院。その美しさは今、静かな風化の中にある。

The awning droops slightly, its once-pristine transparency now clouded. Bamboo blinds hang stiffly on the balcony, shielding whatever remains inside. The salon’s name, "Mari Beauty Salon," still clings to the door, as if waiting for someone to return for a long-overdue appointment.

A spiky plant stands guard beside a narrow entrance, keeping watch over a crowd of electrical meters plotting who knows what. ️

細い入り口の横で鋭い葉を持つ植物が警備中。隣の電気メーター軍団は何かを企んでいる様子。

A dark, narrow entranceway is framed by corrugated metal and concrete walls, with a spiky plant at its base, resembling a silent sentinel. To the left, a collection of electrical meters clings to the wall, their cables snaking upward like mechanical vines.

A chair that’s clearly seen too much, now in semi-retirement beside some buckets.

バケツに囲まれて余生を過ごす椅子。

Against an orange corrugated metal wall stands an old yellow chair with its cushion torn and weathered by time. Nearby, buckets, pipes, and concrete blocks suggest a corner of forgotten utility.
