Late morning sun shines on a train crossing guardrail with light orange poppies sprouting from sidewalk cracks. Sticker and tagged graffiti adorn the orange and black rail. An elderly Obaachan (elderly woman) walks in the background with her hands clasped behind her back. Taken in Ebisucho, South Osaka.
The Golden Week sun shines down on Poppies and painted names.

A father and his small daughter ride their bicycles on the backstreets of South Osaka. The daughter is wearing a pink bicycle helmet. The sky is clouded and grey during blue hour leaving a gloomy feeling that is warmed by the pair. A powerline canopy stretches across the sky. Tsutenkaku tower rises above the street in the distance over Shin Sekai.
The New World, rusted and commodified laid out before you.

Paper fortunes, called O-mikuji, tied to the small branches of a white cherry blossom tree at a Shinto shrine. Usually the bad fortunes are tied, and the good fortunes are held onto.
My future tied in knots.

A red pedestrian bridge leads over rough winter seas to a forested island with a lone torii gate. Light snow falls from a cloudy dark sky. This island is said to be haunted due to its proximity to Tonjimbo, Japan's Suicide Cliffs.
