Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was taken in Tsukishima, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 My photography spot on Tsukishima is in the northwestern area of “Nishinaka Street” (Monja Street).

 There are only a few stores in the area, and most of them are private houses.

 Some houses have been newly rebuilt, but there are still many old private houses.

 One of the old private houses is the house in this photograph.

 The old mortar wall gives the photograph a great tone.

 The houses around here do not have a garden.

 The entrance is facing the road, and it looks like a traditional store in Kyoto, and I think that many houses in this area used to do business long ago.

 There isn’t even an eaves on the front door.

 However, the construction of this simple house feels very clean.

 This is a cultural house!

 A cultural house is a Japanese-Western eclectic house that incorporates Western culture, but in reality, due to the postwar cultural housing policy of the Japanese government, it was not allowed to build a house that could be used for more than 10 years.

 The reason is that the Japanese government thought that if the house was rebuilt every 10 years, the Japanese economy would be revitalized.

 This house was a house that could only be used for about 10 years, but in reality it has been used for more than 50 years.

 Thinking that way, I’m very attached to this house!
