YUKI

Japan’s largest red-light district, Shinjuku’s Kabukicho, is especially jam-packed at night...

Sorry, I’m a Japanese person who’s not very familiar with Japanese bands, but I’m sure they must be an amazing band. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you for feeling that way. Somehow… every time I see these hydrangeas in August, I feel the force of nature’s cycle...😌

I'm the leader of the Anti-Obon Task Force. (Just kidding👻😜)

No no, don’t worry! Some dumb ultra-nationalist cult types in Japan (incl. pols) want a “nuke umbrella.” Just IMO, more shocking than Japan’s victim mindset re Hiroshima/Nagasaki is how it keeps tryna make ppl forget it was a perp. Massacres in China, Korea, the Pacific, Pearl Harbor… So terrible.

Yes. We're seeing a lot of withering away of so much in our cities across the world in terms of natural and social and communal relationships at the moment. We're at a strange and difficult moment in time. It's good to keep connected where we can be...

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

Yeah..."Obon" starts next week in Japan… maybe I’m cursed by "Obon" or something👻 I don’t like it at all. Take care of yourself too. Thanks, Chelsea!

That’s so true. It feels like we’re all learning how to hold on to what really matters, even if it’s fleeting or fading. Maybe that’s where something new begins. Maybe something quietly ends there, too. Personally, I want people to learn from the “negative and darker history” of Japan.

👻👾👽

Hmm… In the end, Japan will just return to the ashes because it’s a volcanic country...🤔🌋😆　That!!👋

Wabi sabi is a good way to describe it, but this withering is the reality for Tokyoites... maybe..

Thanks Chelsea👋 This crazy heat just won’t quit every day, and I’m down with a summer cold...😅😑

Thank U!

This post means "Idiot Kamikaze Spirit" and "Global Warming."👀😂😂

😂😂😂 Honestly, I’m the kind of person who even kills cactuses, so it’s not like I have any special attachment to hydrangeas or anything…😅This dried-up look is the focus point.

Thank you. Every year this hydrangea survives the crazy heat as my yearly check-in spot, and now it’s a natural dried flower.

*This is my ironic image of a Japan that just silently withers away.

Hydrangeas in June.
Hydrangeas in August.

Thanks! I'm melting in this heat⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄

Aww Thank you, again!😘

😂🤭😂

It's just a view from my neighborhood that I see every day, so I'm happy you see it that way!🥹 Thanks😌

(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ♡　<--This emoji means “thanks... kinda shy about it ” — it’s a classic from Japan!

Thanks! Fun fact about Japan: we actually call this type of building a "mansion" here—not "apartments"! 😮😆😅

Ughhh… I think I’ve been hungover all year...😂Thanks for the concern!!

Tiny... tiny crescent moon.
