Happy weekend from #Tokyo!

Made a brief visit to the local temple (南蔵院/Nanzōin) this morning, and could feel some positive energy #flowing (which, incidentally, is also the current #BlueSkyArtShow theme 😉).

Happy Friday from #Japan! I suffered a muscle fiber rupture at #kickboxing, so I'll need to abstain from sports for some time 😥

Yep, right across the street if I remember correctly. 🥟

The main gate of Futaarayama Shrine in Utsunomiya is still in a fairly urban setting between high-rise buildings. In the back, we can see the stairs ascending to the main premises.

Happy Monday from #Japan! Trying to cleanse your timeline with a set of hopefully calming photos from Futaarayama Shrine in #Utsunomiya, the capital of #Tochigi Prefecture north of #Tokyo. Taken on an early March visit two years ago.

Thanks a bunch, Neil! 👊

Thanks Jorge! The window struck me as looking like a kind of tunnel into her prophecies.

A fortune teller is sitting on a chair on the pavement at a small table opposite a striking round window at a department store in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.

Happy weekend from #Tokyo!

The #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Round, which reminded me of this image on my camera roll of a fortune teller outside a department store in Nihonbashi on an early evening.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Cheers, Jason! Glad to have brought back some memories.

Good morning from #Japan!

With today’s image, I’d like to take you to the Mediterranean town of … (drum roll) … Jiyugaoka in the #Meguro Ward of #Tokyo. This was taken at a shopping plaza called “La Vita”.

Did a small craft project today, fashioning a drum practice pad out of 100-Yen-Shop items. Total material cost less than 1,000¥ (€5,47 / US$6.45). All it takes is a couple of cork and silicone pot coasters, a sponge layer and some glue, and - voilà!
