The texture of those surfaces, and the lines and the light playing on them. All the right stuff is in place. It's funny how in Japan, builders only care about the part of a building that everybody can see. What is hidden is left as it is. Rough and naked.
I think this tendency is more pronounced in buildings built in densely populated areas during specific eras. Then, when the building next door is demolished and the site becomes a vacant lot or a parking lot, the secret parts will be exposed.

Yes, I think so too. I just love the contrast.
Love this set of photos. They capture images that can be found just about anywhere in this country!
I love these kinds of materials, so when I come across them I can't help but take pictures.
And then we get to enjoy them!
