Which was torn down when I left, and no, not because I ruined it beyond repair. But I was referring to the neighbourhood as "where I live" rather than the exact address. The operative words are "next door".... Bryce – sometimes it feels like it, especially my old apartment. Which was torn down when I left, and no, not because I ruined it beyond repair.

OK,the only reason we've met at Shinbashi was my intention of taking you two to Odaiba.I knew you guys were in Kyoto for long time so I avoided to take you to Yanaka,the old neighborhood just up of Ueno with lots of temples and Yanaka cemetary with the grave of the last Tokugawa Shogin.Maybe next time.

Strangely, Kevin at bastish.net tells a very similar story of taking over an abandoned house. The old lady who had lived there had gone in to care and everything in her house was pretty much as she had left it - no-one had done anything to sort through her things. Makes you wonder if anyone at all paid any attention to the former occupants. Of course, I'm sure similar things happen here in the UK, but they'd surely be torched before very long.

One house next door had been empty for ten or twenty years, but was still full of remains like the ones you have photographed here. I think it's just a good chance to junk the old crap and buuy new stuff. And saves throwing it out or paying someone to haul it away. And there is the chance that locals use it as a convenient tip.... I’ve seen very similar sights in abandoned houses where I live.

I'm having Murakami Haruki flashbacks, now. The stuff you've got here looks older than '80s, which deepens the mystery. I could kind of imagine a sort of <i>jiageya</i> scenario, but most of that stuff looks more like it comes from the 60s.... Very mysterious. I’m having Murakami Haruki flashbacks, now.
