My random, desktop image of the day comes from nearly 16 years ago. The “tree tents” (雪吊) are there for days like that one in February (although I don’t think there was enough snow to make them useful).

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.
