Never Too Old,
Back in 2012, I spent a Sunday morning in a park in Ebisu. After spending time watching families and children play, I noticed an older fellow pretending to be an airplane come through the park. I can’t say I really learned anything from that, but for some reason it made quite an impression on me that day. Still does. Not sure why.
Ten years ago today, but a Sunday rather than Saturday. Where is he now, I wonder.

It snowed in the bamboo forest. I did not care. I went to the forest at night. I did not mind the cold for I was born and raised where there were four seasons. Winters was always cold. There was always snow. Otherwise, I would have not called it much of a winter.
Here, many folks think Japan is the only country with four distinct seasons. I gave up years ago trying to dispel that. But it is always nice to see the rare little snow storm in Tokyo in spite of the chaos it causes. Because I, a fellow from a land where winter actually meant cold and snow, can imagine that there is a winter in Tokyo. For a day.

One Snowy Night on the Tamagawa River.
Tokyo side looking toward the Kanagawa side. Such a heavy snow that I could not keep my lens clean. Snow is memorable in Tokyo since it is so rare. circa 2009 or 2010
