Hi folks, sorry for the offtopic, but wanted to tell that I just discovered this blog and I’ve got to compliment and gratulate with the people writing in it, because it’s just awesome.
The entries here cover such a huge amout of stuff and topics that I was really interested in knowing but wasn’t able to find anywhere on the internet.
I already know I’ll spend hours reading tons of stuff here, though the only thing I failed to find in this site, is an About page which in this internet blog seems to be missing. In facts to begin my read with I would’ve liked to get some info about the authors first, and how did they get to collect such experiences in their lives, but that’s not really a problem, I suppose it will be fixed while reading the entries.
The burned out shell of Ginza was full of little makeshift gardens during this time too.
There is potential for a novel here. A kind of Pearl Buck meets John Steinbeck tale, with lots of foreshadowing.

The spambots are getting clever.
”The spambots are getting clever.”
Appropriate for the post title, no?
Dude! (if I may) Thanks for the superior image. Is it from a Japanese magazine?

Right now in Ginza, a group of farmers has rented out a section of land and is using it to sell discount vegetables. This is just steps away from Tiffanys but thanks to the recession they couldnt find any other tenants. I dont wanna compare current conditions to the early postwar period, but Ginza has certainly seen better days.
