Shinjuku Gyoen from Sumitomo Building (Tokyo, Japan)

If I remember correctly, I took today’s photo just before, or just after, consuming this lunch.

Japan is about the only country on the planet not to get the 75-year old memo on the swastika. Instead, they still use it as a symbol of good fortune or to mark on a map where a religious site is located.

2015 Central League Champions

@NPBinENG

For the first time in 14 years, the Yakult Swallows won the Central League of NPB and will be heading to the Climax Series. Play begins on October 14.

The umbrellas you see in today’s photo are the way Swallows fans celebrate a run. Yakult fans are insinuating that the opposing pitcher should head for the showers.

My random, desktop image of the day. This is from more than five and half years ago at Yomiuriland. I hope my photography skills have improved a bit since then.
