Volantary --if you want to.

Right –I still see lots of people still wearing them --dont get me wrong.
I dont think masks are going away any time soon.

Much respect to the people I still see in the mornings going to work in their cars..all alone...and still wearing their masks.
Safe is Safe.

I'd totally buy one of those wabash jackets in indigo. Also, I don't miss drinking, smoking or smoking inside, but that photo makes me… miss drinking, smoking, and smoking inside

Looks like a blast — y'all have fun!

Nice cheap butcher. Prices are per 100g in JP¥ - works out to like $300 per lb of meat

Maybe 200 varieties of tea in one of many tea shops

Whoops…

Calligraphy shop

Then over to a tea cafe. The stages of macha whisk production

Giles' gyokuru with a sweet that was meant to taste like 'the sound of falling rain'

My matcha tea with a sweet that was meant to remind me of a firefly
