What an extraordinary kitchen. It’s as if some mischievous spirit cast an inside-out spell on her home.
When it rains I’d be wearing rubber boots and gloves given the looks of the power infrastructure.
You do find some amazing sights, and long may you share them with us.
That’s a very good way of looking at it. Happy to say it’s under a bridge, so shouldn’t be too wet. But yeah, rubber boots would still be a wise move…
Thankfully Japan isn’t lacking when it comes to interesting little sights such as this. Get out often enough, and you are usually rewarded. This though was an especially good find. Utterly unexpected too, which made it all the more enjoyable.
What a very strange scene – but then this is Tokyo so I shouldn’t be too surprised by now – the left half of it looks like a domestic kitchen, only outside, the right side looks like she got up in the morning and suddenly decided to set up a street food business.
Any idea if this is a business or a badly thought out house extension?
Not actually Tokyo though. Out in Atami a few hours away.
It was still a strange scene. Next to a really small harbour, it’s under a busy road bridge. An area that in many ways should be quite pretty being by the sea and all that, but that’s definitely not the case. And the kitchen itself, as far as I could make out, was for cooking some of the catch and basically a home from home for the small group of fishermen who use the area.
Linda says
Wow. Where is that? What happens when it rains?
Lee says
Over in Atami. It’s under a bridge, so proving it isn’t so windy, the cooking can go on unimpeded!
Linda says
I have been to Atami a couple of times and I can see how this would fit right in.
Harry says
Her kitchen is better equipped than my ‘inside’ kitchen! 😉
Lee says
Haha, she’s not lacking when it comes to equipment. Especially so in the fridge department!

Denton says
Very cool. I like it. The framing makes me wonder so much about the surroundings. I mean that in a good way! 😉
Lee says
Thanks. I’d like to say it was an artistic choice and that’s exactly what I intended, but the decision was made for me by the space available.

It’s an odd mix, isn’t it?

Walls are so overrated.
Lee says
Yeah, very much a bourgeois concept!
