The combination of rusty textile and flowers looks beautiful. The beauty of decaying and the beauty of blooming must be exact opposite, clear contrast. But it is nice somehow. (Text and broken translation by Suzu)

Kasumigaseki from Hiroshige’s eyes

suzu — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 04:24:52 +0000

Ksumigaseki is well known as central land of Japan. The parliament house of Japan is located in this place. Politician and some big guys gather around this area.When I run through Kasumigaseki, I can find some police man with cragged expression. But when I pass through their front holding alcohol freed beer can, they do not recognize me. Nobody stop me even if the look of alcohol freed can is like alcoholic one. Where on earth are their eyes? They must be blind not realizing? Anyway in edo period Hiroshige seemed to realize that the land of Kasumigaseki is idyllic.

Go up to a height!

There is a shrine called Ushitenjin-kitano in Bunkyo ward. This shrine is located in hill. After walking up to the top, I become feel good. It might be because that I put my heart and soul into the work. Then I feel that God must give something in return. "I recognize your effort. You made it!" I heard things. But actually when I turn up my face and turn my face to the guy, then I notice the guy is me. Then I realize that belief syetem is broken by my action. Action speaks louder than words. What am I telling about? I became confusing. Anyway the object in the pic is the place for bonding fortune. Look at its figure. It is like a cow because of the shrine's name is Cow God Shrine in English. by Suzu

Smells like a Japanese summer

Aroma, western incence is not so bad. Actually I like them. But once I started pyrethrum coil, I realized that I love the smell best. If there are bamboo blind and windbell and the coil, we can feel Japanese summer more. Also the swingy smoke is fun to watch. by Suzu.
