they opened a japanese bakery a few minutes from my apartment which is nice for the come down on my return, and I get it, differences in wages and cost of living and all that, but also: $7.50 curry pan??? $9 for a sausage roll???

the interior of the japanese bakery, cake otaku, shot on lucky 200 film. everything is disgustingly expensive compared to a bakery in Japan.

february, reflex 800t (respooled vision 500t) dotonbori, osaka a loud and irritating place, but it feels like it's an obligation to get a picture of those lights #filmphotography #photography #35mm #believeinfilm

reflections of the lights on the river water, with just a hint of light leak.

the crowded streets with lights and signs on the sides, with the crowds consisting of like 5% japanese people by volume. "no one here goes to dotonbori" my osakan teachers tell me
