I lived in Okusawa, Tokyo from 2008 to 2012 for the undergraduate studies.
When I visited Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, I went to Sendai Mediatheque, a library famous for the architecture by Toyo Ito.
I found an abandoned barn or a pigsty near my home.
Otto is a district in Tsuchiura City, right next to my hometown, Tsukuba City.
A friend of mine and I travelled in Italy in 2010.
An art professor at the university (since it was a technical school, he was perhaps the only professor in art) briefly mentioned this architecture in his class.
I took this photo at an unknown site in Paris, most likely at a museum.
I bought this one of the first Android phone on ebay.
While I took a night bus from Tokyo to Matsuyama, on the way back, I took an express train from Matsuyama to Okayama and a shinkansen to Tokyo.
Matsuyama Castle is one of the few castles in Japan that preserves the original wooden structure.
