Japan is such a small country it doesn’t have much space for building new houses. Thus Japanese citizens have to live in very compact, even “skinny” houses.
See more pictures after the jump.

This man is called Atsushi Nakanishi and he is 40 years old. It’s been six months since he’s been living in a Capsule Hotel where he sleeps in a tiny room rented and paid by his ex employer for $640 since the global economic crisis hit Japan. Atsushi Nakanishi has only five of his belongings to store in his locker.
There are only vending machines in the hotel’s cafeteria and it is full of smell of cigarettes.

We have already posted the photograph of this car in our Picdump, but now we know all the details and want to share them with you :)
This "Maniwa" was produced not by a car company, but by a small furniture factory Sada.
The sports car has three wheels and three seats. The car was built by hand and consists almost entirely of wooden parts, even its rims are made of wood. The car can reach 80 km/h.
But the main advantage of "Maniwa," is its design without a doubt.
The interest in the Japanese wooden design is huge, Sada is already taking plenty of orders for this wooden sports car, demanding for their services a little less than 44 thousand dollars.
And now, let’s look at the photos.

It’s the beginning of the end… As I often say, to each their own but I think I won’t be the only one to think that it’s sick!
A Japanese gamer known as ‘Sal9000’ officially married Nene Anegasaki, one of the different female characters of the popular Japanese Nintendo DS game ‘Love Plus’.
They held a small reception for friends, family and the media, and the event was livecast on Nico Nico Douga, a popular Japanese video sharing web site that allows commentors to post messages on screen.
Apparently, this event was not to be taken too seriously though, it was more like a multimedia project set by a gamer who was determined to officiate his devotion to the video game he loves so much… Well, anyway, it’s still sick to me…
Don't forget to watch the video, it's the best part...

These 3D stereoviews were made in the late 19th - early 20th century by known Japanese photographer T. Enami.
Normally, stereoviews consist of two almost identical photos and when viewed through a stereoscope, it gives the impression of three-dimensional space.
Now let's look at these 3D steroviews, but the good thing is, we won’t need any stereoscopes as they are already animated, but the effect is still the same ))

This full-size transparent Lexus LFA was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show last week. It was built by Scu Fujimoto, a Japanese architect. The sculpture was constructed from transparent acrylic boards that have been sanded and polished.
It’s really an amazing work, you should definitively take a look at that car inside the post!

Here’s a good example of culture differences. In Japan, it is something common to have such capsule hotels. It is made for businessmen in the first place, who don’t have time to go home and start working very early. Or for people who didn’t catch the last train. Their well developed train system shuts down around midnight.
So, here you go, little boxes where you can only be in a lying position. There’s even a small TV set at your feet.

Tsutomu Tosuka is 74. His body constitution could make jealous men half his age.
He was crowned this weekend winner in the senior category of the Japan Masters Bodybuilding Championships 2009. He began practising bodybuilding at 40 and never stopped since. It’s really amazing to see the body you can have at such an elderly age.
Conclusion, you’re never too old and it’s never too late to have a great body!

Harajuku is a famous fashion street of Tokyo with a unique street fashion. Young people dressed in a variety of styles including gothic lolita, visual kei, and decora, as well as cosplayers spend the day in Harajuku socializing. The fashion styles of these youths rarely conform to one particular style and are usually a mesh of many.
Many prominent designers and fashion ideas have sprung from Harajuku and incorporated themselves into other fashions throughout the world. Incredible pictures. Have to see them!

From some of the rooms in the pictures it is clear that teenagers live in there, and some of the rooms are furnished with the latest technology and look more like an office of some serious company.

Let's see how the architecture of Japan changed from the end of 19th, the beginning of 20th century till the present day.
The upper photo is how the place on the picture looked almost 100 years ago, at the bottom, how this same place looks today.
I wonder, how much will it change over the next one hundred years?

Yeah, in Japan during the rush hour, it is better not to use any public transport at all (especially the subway). It's really tight.

Itasha is a Japanese term for an otaku fad of individuals decorating the bodies of their cars with fictional characters of anime, manga, or video games. These characters are predominately "cute" females. The decorations usually involve paint schemes and stickers. Automobiles are called Itasha, while similar motorcycles and bicycles are called itansha and itachari, respectively.
The cars are seen prominently in places such as Akihibara (Tokyo), Nipponbashi (Osaka), or Ōsu (Nagoya).
I gathered here a compilation of such cars. You’ll notice that in general, those are not cheap cars!

Here is the marketing genius of the Japanese in all its splendor.
You buy a manga book and as a present that goes along with the book you get a dust cloth for your computer screen. But this is not a simple dust cloth...

It is a collection of art called Weiner Art. A grocery store worker invented this art to promote the store products. And the store sales grew strongly because children just love it.
Take a look, perhaps you would also surprise someone with an elephant made of a weiner ))

In ganguro fashion, a deep tan is combined with hair dyed in shades of orange to blonde, or a silver grey known as "high bleached". Black ink is used as eye-liner and white concealer is used as lipstick and eyeshadow. False eyelashes, plastic facial gems, and pearl powder are often added to this. Platform shoes and brightly-coloured outfits complete the ganguro look. Also typical of ganguro fashion are tie-dyed sarongs, miniskirts, stickers on the face, and lots of bracelets, rings, and necklaces.

What you’re going to see is not a computer graphics but a real place.
It is the Metropolitan Area Outer Discharge Channel, constructed to avoid flooding on typhoon season. Its construction started in 1992.
The size is impressive: The maximum height - 25.4 m, maximum width - 78 meters. By the way, this place is open for tourists. I can imagine them circling there with open mouths ;)

This tea house is built atop two chestnut trees by a Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori in Chino, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
In Japan, such teahouses were made by tradition of tea masters.
I say it’s perfect, you drink a good tea and you have a great view. What can be better!
