Kyoto Temple.
I wasn't allowed to take this photo, but I did anyway. I didn't use flash however. I guess flash photography can damage these statues in some way.
Still Life arangement
A very nice still life arrangement at a very nice but expensive Ryokan in Northern Japan. I love the rough paper texture.
Ugly 70's building.
l
Japan if full of ugly building left over from the 60's, 70's and 80's. They tend to take every design trend to the extreme, so when the trend has past, the building look even more out of date. I however feel that these buildings have a lot of character and charm. This photo was taken in Northern Japan, somewhere near Akita.

Model Cars
Japanese love their detailed model cars. They are very proud of their automotive heritage.
American goods
American goods are very popular in Japan. Here is a picture from Ueno. I love the old cigarette machine, and the paper box.
Outdoor eating experience.
This is a typical after work activity for the Japanese salery man. Eating in one of these open air izakayas. This photo was taken in Ueno in 2006.
Video Game Arcade.
A typical arcade in Tokyo. This photo was taken in Iidabashi, Kagurazaka. It is too bad that in North America, arcades have basically disappeared. In Japan it is a great place to let off some steam after work.
