ミド建築・都市観測所: An employee of #HazamaAndo, a contractor cutting down trees in #JinguGaien, yelled at citizens protesting on a public road, saying, "You thief, I'm calling the police!" When I asked him why, he lied "You tried to climb over the fence to get in," and ran away.

Osaka Expo was supposed to be a showcase of innovation and sustainability—but with scandals, delays, and sluggish ticket sales, it's worth asking: was this event really necessary in the first place? #OsakaExpo2025 #Japan #UrbanPlanning www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/10...
Challenges remain six months to go before Osaka Expo
About 7.14 million advance tickets had been sold since they went on sale last year — only 51% of the organizers' target of 14 million.

This is my neighborhood half-burnt Ginko tree in all its glory. It is particularly special to those who live here because, according to what I’ve heard, it marks the spot where local firefighters were finally able to stop a section of the air raid fires in 1945.
