    As an architect would say “everything is about contrast”. Japan is the ‘contrast capital’…

      It certainly is. One of the reasons I like it so much.

    I like this picture!!
    Japan is so interesting and wonderful place for us to explore.
    If I have the chance, I want to be back to Japan again.

      Yeah, it is. No doubt about that. But I’m sure you’ll be back. Sooner rather than later too.
