Weekly Photo Challenge: Edge
It is moored at the edge of the Yamashita park of Yokohama indefinitely. Her name is Hikawa-maru and it was an ocean liner of the north pacific lane from Yokohama to Seattle. In WW-2, she was used as a hospital ship and hit a floating mine but she went back to Japan. Her last voyage was done in 1960. I could say she has been always on the edge of the history.
I hope you could find some her beautiful edge of shape in pictures.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Mirror
A few moths ago, I was strolling through a backstreet of a big city Tokyo and I found me missing something natural and tranquil. I got bored with daily business and would be tired of doing same things every day. Perhaps I should gone on a weekend excursion to the back country to find nature. However, simultaneously, I understood what I needed was not nature but sophisticated calmness in the city. One of my ways to do was, as usual, to visit a smaller art museum.
The picture was taken at the Museum of Modern Art, Hayama, which is at a old resort just next to Yokohama and one hours from Tokyo. I hope you enjoy a mirror image made with the modern architecture, the sea and the sky.
しばらく前に東京の裏通りを歩いていて、何かしら自然で落ち着いたものが足りないような気がしていることに思い当たった。日々の仕事に飽きて、同じことを繰り返すことに嫌気がさしていたのだろう。ひょっとすると自然を求めて田舎でも訪ねればよかったのかもしれない。でも、同時に、欲しているものが都会の洗練された平穏といったものだとも理解していた。そんな時にやることといえば、小さめの美術館に行くことである。この写真は、葉山の神奈川県近代美術館にて撮影された。

Weekly Photo Challenge: Frame
（日本語は後半に）
Once in a while I should have discussed photography on the blog because I have posted pictures every time. Frame, what a great subject to talk about it.
Honestly saying I don’t like to use a frame for my photos. It narrows down the canvas, limits a camera position and add one element of the picture in advance. In addition, we enjoy pictures on a screen of computer rather than prints. In other words, we see many layered frames like a screen, an application window, a picture window and a picture itself. Perhaps you remember that iPhone was like a panda when its screen factor was changed (iPhone4 to 5). When you ran some application for older iPhone, you might see a white application color inside a black frame inside a white iPhone.
However sometimes I found me taking a picture with a frame. One of my favorites I took was a image of Nuremburg through a old window glass at night. I missed it but still remember.
A typical framing style I like is found in Ukiyoe pictures. If you love photography, you know, “frame” doesn’t mean the rim of a picture. It must be a typical one but even a small branch as a foreground object can be a frame. Indeed Ukiyoe artists loved to use such expressions and Van Gogh would be one of successors.
Today I chose three different pictures which have no typical frame.
写真を毎回アップしているのだから、たまには写真に関することでも書くべきだろう。「フレーム」良い題材である。
正直、写真でいうところのフレームが好きなわけではない。少ない切り取られた領域をさらに狭めて制限するものであるし、コンピュータスクリーンで見るのが当たり前の今、写真はすでにいくつものフレームが重なっている。
それでも時々、フレームのある写真を撮っていることに気づく。今でもお気に入りの一枚はニュルンベルクの古い窓枠から夜の様子を撮ったものである。
典型的なフレームのスタイルは浮世絵に見られる。それは単なる枠ではなく、例えば木の枝に切り取られた風景であったりする。そんなわけで、今日は、典型的とは言えないフレームを選んでみた。
