Sabouru cafe, Kanda-Jinbocho, is more than five-decades old.

One of the last things I want to do is to write on a thin piece of paper with a ball-point pen on this table.

one character from a store sign, Kanda, Tokyo.

The character itself means "rule," ”heal" etc, but this is a part of "meiji," which is the Meiji Era (1968-1912), during which this store started.

I was testing the 10 x zoom but it was so dark and this one's blurred.

snow on my happy coloured umbrella


snow on my happy coloured umbrella
Originally uploaded by nofrills.

i had been hearing the rain for a few of hours since this evening.

when the sound stopped, i thought it stopped raining. i was wrong, partly, because it was just that the rain had turned into snow.

this big snow flake tells you the arrival of spring.

in tokyo, we have snow like this big (three or four centimeters across) when the winter nears to the spring... maybe.
