Tall palms define border of 1970s modernist-style mansion’s lawn

外国産の背が高いヤシの木は大きい庭の境界線にとてもすてきです。

Few homes in Tokyo have lawns, let alone a row of tall exotic palms. If I’m not mistaken, these may be butia palms from South America. What a cool garden. Near Sangubashi.

Ficus vine crosses the line between outdoor and domestic space

このイチジクのつるは外となかの境界線を越しました。小さなアパートでは、いつも庭が近いのです。

A huge advantage of our small apartment is that both the kitchen and the living face the balcony garden. I love how this ficus vine has crossed the line between outdoor and domestic space.
