Maritime shipping company has been operating for decades in this pre-Bubble office

芝浦にある海運送会社です。バウハウスのような簡潔さがあるので、バブルの何年も前に建てられたと思います。濃い青色の陶器タイルは空に似合います。

The Bauhaus-like architectural simplicity and the decorative ceramic tiles mark this commercial building as product of postwar industry and trade, long before the excess of the Bubble. It’s lovely to see maritime companies that have done business for decades still exist along Tokyo’s waterfront.

Snap pea flowers on balcony match clouds above cityscape

スナックエンドウの白い花と東京の雲がよく似合います。スペースの限られた庭に、スナックエンドウは、ぴったりです。

I’ve been eating balcony-harvested snap peas for the last few months. This year, I grew them from seed. They are a great choice when you have no space.
