Fuji, and bird. Taken yesterday

👏👏👏

All of them, apparently

Actually I find errors like these just a tad reassuring these days - they indicate to me that a human wrote the article and made a human mistake.

I’ve gotten this at the gym before. While I was using a machine, with earbuds in. I just kept my eyes closed until he walked away.

And kintsugi. Of course, the kintsugi.

What a great experience for them - and a phenomenal shot of Lady Liberty.
I took my kids (both teens) on the NYC subway for the first time two years ago. They lodged the obvious complaints: much dirtier and smellier than Tokyo subways. But i'm glad they got the experience.

One of these came to the park near my house last year!

Fastest-growing sport in America!

Sony’s Japanese Minidisc ads with Jamiroquai are straight up iconic

How old will all of us be when all of this 再開発 is finally done?!

That’s adorable! How long will you be in Japan? Any chance you’ll be passing through Shizuoka?

We're all in the same boat. I think it will come back eventually but for now let's put our lifejackets on and prepare for choppy waters

That's great. I've been doing it for a little over half as long as you have. I find that clients will keep coming back if they're happy with your work and they know you're dependable. You'll probably keep getting those requests until you ask them to stop - and even then, you may still get some more.
