Panoramic view from the tallest building in Japan

Today, I went up in the lift to the top floor of the Yokohama Landmark Tower. The floor is kind of a viewing platform. It was fair and I enjoyed the supreme scenery of Yokohama. The hight of the building is 296m(970 feet) so if you were some acrophobia, it would be consternate to be there. You can see bigger size images by clicking each photo, if you like.

Guardian deity of children


I saw many Ksitigarbha, guardian deity of children - called as Zizou- in Zojoji Temple, Tokyo.
Each Ksitigarbha has a pinwheel in his hand, but I don't know why.
Sometime I see Ksitigarbha with pinwheel. It's not unusual.

Building Wall


(Tameike-Sanno, Tokyo)
One of my favorite motif is the outer wall of a building with brightness of the reflex.

Here, wire, everywhere



As I took shots in other area, there are so many cables and wires around Futamatagawa where I live in Yokohama. Today, I was walking about near my house and easily caught many scenes with wires.

Is is a pretty well-lit because all the external wall is made of plain glasses.

Cofee shop

Squashy velvet sofa in wine red, square glass ashtray, girl pinups and a shiny stainless-iron sugar pot. They are the items of ordinary coffee shops in 30 years ago. Most of these type of cozy corners disappeared. There I felt as if I had been back in my younger days. I ordered 'Brazil' that we cannot have in Starbucks.

Wired Life


Sneaking around our town, we see so many cables and wires. Usually, I ignore or try not to bring into the frame when taking a photo but yesterday was an exceptional. I made an attempt how I put them. I did not have an intention to accuse how ugly they were. I just wanted to capture how I could blend in with the paysage.
