A query from Tokyo Greenspace, strangely apropos to Yom Kippur. Who will live and who will die, who by water and who by fire? –ZJB
マンションの前にあるこの放棄された木造の家はいつまで持つでしょうか。
In front of our apartment building is this picturesque but abandoned wooden house. It’s beautiful, but I don’t think it will be there for long. On the main street, I watched an old liquor store turn into a 7-Eleven convenience store in less than 1 month.
