The Art of Levitation (36 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       23 Feb 2011       13746

Meet Natsumi Hayashi from Tokyo who simply loves to levitate. She always brings her camera with her and creates these photos of her floating. It is not that easy to do as in order for her to look like floating and not like a jump, the facial expressions  should be controlled as well as hair or body flailing shouldn’t be noticeable. I can say, that she reached her goal.

Insane Tokyo Compression (15 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       11 Jan 2011       13826

Tokyo underground system is a day-by-day insanity. Local residents and guests are often pressed against windows and other people. Pictures from the series “Tokyo Compression” by Michael Wolf perfectly document the real daily Tokyo subway atmosphere. I wouldn’t enjoy starting my day like this.

Welcome to the Vampire Cafe (9 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       28 Oct 2010       6604

This is the Vampire Cafe in Tokyo and it’s kinda spooky. It features spiders, skulls, baroque music and it is a very dark place. But the food is good and it doesn’t have any blood on it. The best part is that the waitresses all wear dark little French maid outfits. And it’s not that expensive, dinner for two can cost as much as $100.

Significant Apartment for Rent (19 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       16 Sep 2010       15004

This three-story building is located in Tokyo, Japan. It has its own name – 63.02º because its facade is inclined 63.02 degrees toward the front road. This allows passersby see a wide and deep view of the house that has a small building of a SOHO (2 and 3 floors) and an apartment for rent (1 floor). This project designed by Jo Nagasaka and Schemata Architecture Office is significant and unique.

Amazing HDR Photos of Tokyo (74 pics)

Tokyo is the city of lights. At least, it’s the way I see it when I look at the pictures of Tokyo at night. In this collection of photos, you’ll see the capital of the Land of the Rising Sun during the day, evening, morning and at night. No matter when, the city is just beautiful.

One Japanese Dormitory That Looks Like a Slum Building (21 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       19 May 2010       16566

This is Kyoto University dormitory built almost a century ago, to be precise in 1913.Student squatters who live there pay an extremely low price: ¥2,500, about $27. Constructed at the southern edge of Kyoto University's Yoshida Campus, the dormitory was self-administered by the students who were in charge to select new applicants to live there.The building is maintained by students themselves, even though they did some little upgrades (like Ethernet cables in the corridors that lead to each room), but any of major building repairs have never been conducted and the building can't be considered safe, plus hygiene conditions are quite unsatisfactory. 
Well, you’ll see it all inside the post.

Creative House in Tokyo with Crazy Garage (12 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       31 Mar 2010       23122
A Japanese architect was given 2 specific instructions for building this house:
- it had to contain a garage with enough place for 9 cars and the possibility of viewing one of them directly in the living room.
- a tall tree had to fit in the house.
That was not an easy job as architect Takuya Tsuchida only disposed of 2000 square feet, but he managed to satisfy his client!

Japanese fashion street Harajuku (42 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       22 Sep 2009       36230

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 above, it looks really weird, but in reality it is very fun there ;)
This playground is called Nishi-Rokugo or Tire Park and is situated in Tokyo.
Kawasaki plants are located not far away from there, so they maybe using defective tires for the park ))
