capturing in prose
From lipsticks to locomotives, Raymond Loewy might be one of the origins of retro-future design. Of course, he must not have agreed with me if he could read this post. However, I think, his design has been and will be somehow contemporary.
口紅から蒸気機関車まで、レイモンド・ローウィはレトロフューチャの原点の一人だろう。もちろん、このポストを読んだら違うと言ったに違いない。だが、思うのである。そのデザインは、これまでもこれからも、どこか現代的であると。
Also my second contribution to the weekly photo challenge: Future
April is the beginning month of the financial and school year in Japan. Though a lot of companies have switched the year period from April-March to common January-December, graduates start their new job this month with plenty of dreams looking for the future. So April of Japan is, that is to say, the month of hope and anxiety.
The picture on top was taken at Minato-mirai area of Yokohama, literally meaning a port of future.

Far blue mountains, sharp sky scrapers, gently sleeping lakes etc. What I imagine about landscapes would be probably same as yours. Today I have decided to choose alternative one for the challenge. It’s a landscape of typical small farms in Yokohama.

The sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.
“Night”
by William Blake
陽は西に沈み
宵の明星きらめく
鳥達は巣にひっそりと過ごし
我もねぐらを探さねば
「夜」（無垢の歌）
ウイリアム・ブレイク
