Living Out Of A Suitcase
Schoolgirls (Jogakusei,女学生)
Sep 2nd
When in doubt, just take photos of Japanese schoolgirls.
Their socks don’t match.
Cherry Blossoms (Sakura,さくら)
Sep 1st
Cherry blossoms in late full bloom on the banks of the Shiroishi River near Funaoka.
Roses (Bara,バラ)
Aug 30th
This photo always makes me think of winter, although it was taken in the swelteringly humid Japanese summer.
Roppongi Hills Mori Tower (六本木ヒルズ森タワー)
Aug 29th
The crown jewel of the Roppongi Hills urban development, this 54-story skyscraper rises up above the waste and detritus that roam the entertainment district’s streets at night. The building itself, as well as the district it’s located in, has had its fair share of incidents over time.
Roppongi (六本木)
Aug 26th
“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”
Ramen (ラーメン)
Aug 18th
Most come in three flavours: Miso, Shoyu (soy sauce), and Shio (salt). Personally, I prefer the miso chashu (miso with sliced pork) variety.
The Festival Of The Dead (Obon, お盆)
Aug 17th
The bustling cities of Japan empty out during this week long event in August. Family members return to their home towns to remember those that have already left this world.
Handrail (Tesuri, 手すり)
Aug 17th
Just a random shot of a random rail, somewhere outside a random bar in Sendai.
Point (Sasu, さす)
Aug 16th
For every finger you point at someone, there are three pointing back at you, and a thumb pointing kinda off to the side somewhere…
Hitome Senbon Zakura (一目千本桜)
Aug 15th
Between Ogawara and Shibata towns, a thousand cherry blossom trees line the Shiroishi River. Thousands upon thousands of tourists visit the area in May to enjoy ‘Hanami’, cherry blossom viewing.
