Rural barn
Misawa, Japan
Autumn 1980 |
On weekends, I put on my walking boots, grabbed my camera and wandered around the countryside. Sometimes, I went alone; other times, with friends. I saw more of the "real" Japan than those who stayed on the highways and in town. I found beauty in the raw images of rural Japan.
Note: that is corn drying under the eave of the barn.
Looks very poor. What is the stuff hanging on the stick? Looks like bananas???? You are an adventurer
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like rural America. I too would like to know what is hanging on the stick.
ReplyDeleteYou were very smart. I always try to get "off the beaten path" when we go somewhere. I want to see how the REAL people live.
ReplyDeleteI would get out and want to walk on weekends too. I think it's great you got to experience things from your own perspective. The photo looks very real.
ReplyDeleteYour Friday posts are always interesting. That rural home does look poor but I've seen houses that gave me the same feeling of "poor" in Pa where we lived before Va.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of rural podunk. That's a tin roof on the porch, right? Sounds like home to me.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you found beauty in it.
ReplyDeleteYou captured a very interesting image. Wonder what stories those building could tell.
ReplyDeleteI would like the rural views too:)
ReplyDeleteI've always found rural Japan so interesting and charming. They live so simply.
