A cake from the West, a cake from the East
and Tomisaburo Kuraba
In Memory of the Glovers (and the Nagasaki Foreign Settlement during the late Edo, Meiji Period and its echoes in the Taisho Period)

Gateway to the World
Visiting the King of Cats
Just a stroll in the downtown area …
Up, up the hill … lies a villa, behind bushes of hydrangeas …

A city in a city, or a theme park in a shopping mall?
A bridge in the distance, capturing the essence of a bridge.
