It fascinates me that one could identify the country they are in purely by the architecture in their vicinity. Those little, country-specific details, where you could be on any street in any country and find a building fulfilling a similar purpose, this is a structure making no grand architectural statement, but the subtle flourishes in the construction reveal a tradition and cultural fingerprint that can only be from one place.
The roof tiles are the most obvious clue here, but they could just as easily be Chinese, as could the characters on the door (which I’m reading, badly, as “logic/reason appearance/figure” and not understanding at all, so feel free to clue me in if you’re more literate than I am), but it’s those upstairs windows in particular that scream Japan. The ground-floor façade could almost be English, but that mismatched upper floor is the cultural tell here. Fascinating.
Next time you look at a photograph of a street, try to figure out where it is.

THE FUCKING EYEBROWS.
Does everyone hate you or something?

Er, thank you Japan. I don’t know what this is, but she’s clearly The One. My Japanese is about limited to asking for beer (“Sono biiru o kudasai”) and where the toilet is (“Toire wa doko desu ka?”), but clearly me and My Future Wife can let the funky music do the talking.
