Hello Patrick.
This building is the existing oldest public apartment housing in Japan. This apartment was built by Osaka-City in 1931. But it will be broken in this year and now nobody is not allowed to enter inside. I have felt a little of human life here but want to catch the things which existed in the past. Thank you.

Hello Hiroshi,
I like your use of the street light to create such a desolate back street image. It looks foreboding, but I have wandered steets like this in Japan and never felt afraid.
This image is in stark contrast to the hi-tech Osaka aquarium or the historical castle. I see that you live in Kyoto, one of the most beautiful cities. I once had the pleasure of being there for New Year celebrations.
All the best from Canada. Patrick
