Japan is not all sparkly, soap-bubbles and neon-lights. Japan has texture as well. A bit of the gritty and dirty side of Japan you don’t see advertised on bill-boards and export products.
The main road I cross everyday has been degrading bit by bit and piece by piece.
The little cracks in the tarp are starting to turn into potholes.
In japan you will find lots of steel covers, iron-grating and the sort covering little ditches and gutters.
This little fire-escape could use a lick of paint.
