Up-side-down in Mitaka


retro-futuristic shower booth, a bit embarrassing tho. 



 specially associated beach ball and tube for the holiday, "Day of Sea".





"room of sphere"
literally.




Tokyo Metropolitan Housing in Mitaka



Chofu airport

Watches how it spins around".

a celebration




a small piece of unexpectedness
sometimes could make one real happy.

Mitama Festival at YASUKUNI

myriads of people
amazing candy artisan
haunted house  so very  D.I.Y.

Bon Odori, the japanese traditional folk dance forming circles.   
I participated in it, was fun! 

"Yasukuni-Udon".






 "Nebuta", the renowned festival in north-eastern Japan, I don't know why it is here.

a small basement for reading in Meidaimae




when i went there, 
all foods were already gone. 
might I look so disappointed or no,
a young waiter, probably a student from the college near, 
served me some crackers and jam, 
saying "this is all we can serve,..".

bookshelf extending to ceiling, 
slight sunshine coming from outside,
needless to say, coffee is very good.
very courteous, delicate and quiet.

I like this place. 



and I read this book I recently bought there.
