Space Utilisation In Japan

June 6, 2008 · 8 comments

It never ceases to amaze me what how there's not a lot of wasted space in Japan.

On my morning walk to the station i'm forever looking around to see what i can see, take this small Shrine for example … tucked inbetween 2 buildings and  in front of an elevator.

Not sure what “TiVo”ing is Chris but yes i did put a few things down before i left and set them to go off every few days. There was no way i was taken a laptop away with me and as it turns out the internet access was scarce ….. so i heard from others who needed to change travel plans.

First trip i’d decided to take with no laptop in about 10 years and i didn’t miss it one bit …. was good to have some time off from it to be honest …. having said that i didn’t want the latest post to remain the same for ~2 weeks.

The first time I came to Japan, I captured a great image of a shrine (full-size) trapped between two office buildings and a conservatively-dressed woman carrying a parasol. These photos made me remember that. Wish I could find that shot…

Is that a place for praying to grandparents which already passed away?

Hmmmm, not sure exactly what it’s purpose is if at all anything different from any other ’shrine’ in Japan.
