…but not from you!
There is probably more order here than lesser mortals can see .. or it may be just the day
before the weekly cleanup. Kind of cosy though!
From outside. The doors/windows had been opened right up, so you could see straight in. Not on a busy road though. Just a small side street in an older part of the city.

Erm, no, not quite!
Very true. He probably knows where every little thing is, should it be needed. Plus the story behind them all too.

You really come across the most interesting places in Japan! I’m sure there is treasure in that room!
Lee says
Quite possibly. There could be stuff going back so far they would be verging antiques…
Al says
Just enough room to sleep!
Lee says
Yeah, pretty much. I think there was an upstairs, but perhaps he struggles to get up them these days, hence the clutter.

Were you actually in the house, or was this photo taken from the street, looking in?
