capturing in prose
I used to have a cozy sleeping on “tatami” of a north side room
in summer and to be lying snug and warm on “engawa”, a Japanese style loggia, in winter when I was a child. Today, it is hardly seen and a part of nostalgia or a historic architecture.
The picture at the top was taken at a preserved architecture close to my house.
最近は縁側も少なくなって猫も困っているのではないかと心配。
住宅街の路地裏の自転車はいつもどこか寂しい。
Bikes parked off street is always looked lonely somehow.
A Part of Monochrome Monday
Yokohama Chinatown in silence.
A part of
Monochrome Monday.
I could say it’s well-managed chaos we live in. A big city always has many functions to serve everything the citizens need and is sinking in chaos as a result. The City of Yokohama is not an exception. You may find complex roads, office buildings, shopping malls and an amusement park. It’s a wonderful view, isn’t it?
When you walk around the opposite side, you may see another face of this area as seen in the picture at bottom. Traditional red-bricked warehouses, which are reused as a shopping mall, looks small in front of a huge cruise ship.
都市とは何ともはやよく管理された混沌である。複雑な道路網もオフィス街もショッピングモールも遊園地も全て住む人々の要求に応えるように準備され、やがて混沌へと沈みゆく。反対側を見れば大型船から見下ろすように古い倉庫が近代的なショッピングモールとして生きながらえる。街とはそんな混沌である。
