…ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Kofu’s Arakawa River dusk (August 2013)

The Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital is the building on the left of this photo. The day was super hot and humid, but you can still barely make out Mt. Fuji in this image slightly right of center. On a clear day (and humid days never are), this is a decent spot to view Mt. Fuji.

The Arakawa River may not look like much in this photo, but it actually has a tendency to flood, which is why there are pedestrian and bike paths along the side of the river instead of homes.

早稲田大学 (April 2010)

Revisited in photos only, unfortunately. I haven’t set foot on the grounds for almost 10 years, and today’s photo comes from over 12 years ago when I was working at Waseda University. Those were some good times.

Should I ever make it there again, what I’d really like to see is the new Haruki Murakami Library. I checked out (and of course read) many Murakami books in the old library.
