Seeing Tokyo through netting and scaffolding

ネッティングと足場を通して東京がまだ見えます。光が少なくなって、それに、ベランダの植物がないので寂しい。

Living in a construction site has been strange. There’s less light, there are no plants outside, and there’s a netting between us and the city.

Bright golden ginko against black night sky

中野で、金色のイチョウが夜空に向かって光を放っています。大きい道路沿いの長い並木のいくつかは早く紅葉して、他はまだです。見上げてみましょう！

Golden ginko leaves radiate against a black night sky in Nakano. Ginko is the official tree of Tokyo, and stylized versions appear on many sidewalk railings. This week they are turning gold. I like how in a long row on major streets, some turn sooner, and others wait. Look up!
