#nerima-ku

Itsuko Hasegawa, Nerima House, Nerima-ku | Tokyo, Japan, 1985-1986 VS Hokusai, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, 1829-1833

On this day several people at my office left early to avoid the commotion at the stations, as trains are delayed sometimes indefinitely when there is heavy snowfall in Tokyo (snow is uncommon in Tokyo and public response to even the tiniest of flurries is, well, inept). I left the office at the regular quitting time and trains were still running with some short delays. I think the snowfall really picked up as I arrived at my station where I took these photos, so the timing for me worked out perfectly. Though I do remember the next morning walk to the station being perilous as everything was frozen and super slippery.
