The Small Dutch Fair, held at Onaka Store was closest to Shinmaruko station on the Toyoko-sen. I love wondering around new-to-me suburbs with my camera. Here are a few Sandwich favourites.
Hello Edelweiss, Oh thank you! I have to walk down some side back streets to find these potted gardens sometimes! :) Worth it though :)
Hello Ames and Tash, yes Tokyo does a great job of the mini potted garden! I'm still working on mine! Though I planted some Asagao the other day to make a green wall in Tokyo to keep the heat out in Summer!
Hello Japan Australia, Have you been there too? Hope you're well! Nice to see your comment as usual!
i love the flowerstand....so pretty as well as the other ones! Some of the things i love about your pictures of neighborhoods you visit is the realness of them.I love that there are clips and wires and gloves and plastic bottles and weeds growing through the cracks.
Hello. I am Hello Sandwich. I am an Australian artist and graphic designer living in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. I love Japan, bento boxes, pantone 107.3 and metallic hologram foil, polka dots and plaid, Holbein gouache and fluoro pencils and I have a huge crush on Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugito. I would like to share with you some of the things that inspire me. I hope you will enjoy.
Love this - such a pretty neighbourhood! :-)
