Snow Fell
Living in Chiba, snow is a rare sight. Today, February 8, 2026, it's snowing on election day. I walked through the park this morning to capture the snow-covered scenery. The satisfying crunch of fresh snow, a crow flying through the snowfall, and the odd diamond shapes where the block corners stayed bare. It's already a day to remember. Time to go vote and help decide Japan's future.
The New Year's Card Season Has Arrived
In Japan, there's a tradition where people exchange greeting postcardscalled nengajo, carefully timed to arrive on New Year's Day.
