Tokyo Diaries – Snowpocalypse, the Aftermath

February 9, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (6)

So fleeting, this fragile beauty. There’s definitely a metaphorical component to watching the snow melt away almost as quickly as it arrived in Tokyo.  We ended up getting 27 CM officially (just about 11″) which is a respectable snowstorm even by Chicago standards.  For Tokyo it was the largest snowfall […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – O-yuki

February 8, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (17)

I love snow. The Japan Meteorological Association issued its first Heavy Snow Warning for Tokyo in 13 years today.  I feel really lucky to be here for this, because I love snow.  I love the way it looks, the way it sounds when shoes crunch down on it, everything about […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Tsukishima

February 1, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (9)

February came in like a lamb. The unseasonably warm weather continues, so I paid a visit to Tsukishima today.  It’s the 120 year-old man-made island across the Sumida River from Tsukiji, but you may know is as the setting for Umino Chica’s marvelous manga 3-gatsu no Lion.  I’d never been […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Daikoku Matsuri

January 11, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (5)

More photos?  Oh, why the hell not – it is a holiday weekend… Just a few pics today from my old haunt, Kanda Myojin.  They’re holding their Daikoku Matsuri this weekend.  Folks line up by the hundred to symbolically get bonked on the head by the guy on the right […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Gokokuji

January 5, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Japan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (14)

Cats everywhere. Just another lazy day of wandering about Shitamachi.  This time it’s Gokokuji, which of all Tokyo’s most important temples is the closest to me.  I took the 25-minute walk up there today and snapped some more pics (along with a few at a small but picturesque temple I […] Read more

Tokyo Hatsumode Diaries – Toyowaka Inari, Hie Jinja, Yanaka

January 3, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (8)

I love the newly born year in Japan. Hatsumode is the tradition of visiting a shrine or temple to pray during the first three days of the year, and one which Japanese folks overwhelmingly observe, irrespective of their daily spiritual inclinations.  There’s a strong element of family and community to […] Read more

A Very Japanese New Year's

January 1, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Gingitsune, Japan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (9)

Well – mostly. Hard to believe it’s my second New Year’s in Tokyo already.  I actually have a TV this time, so I decided to start out with the classic Japanese New Year’s Eve tradition – the Kouhaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Competition) on NTV.  It would be […] Read more

Comiket 85

December 29, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Japan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (7)

Boy, does that suck the life out of you. The “choose your own adventure book for fetishes” is back for it’s Winter incarnation.  Maybe it was because I went on the first day this time (for 83 and 84 I never did) but the crowds were even more insane last […] Read more

Jump Festa 2014

December 22, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, Japan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (4)

It’s Shueshia’s world – they just let us use it. I didn’t go to Jump Festa last year – I was still pretty new to Japan, and Chiba seemed a lot farther away than it really is (about an hour with one transfer to Makuhari Messe, ¥480).  In truth I’m […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Happo-en Garden

December 7, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (14)

The sheer number of hidden gems in Tokyo never ceases to amaze me. When people dismiss Tokyo as a soulless and grey modern megalopolis, they reveal their own ignorance more than anything else.  It’s here more than anywhere else that the duality of Japan is most inescapable – the juxtaposition […] Read more
