Post-apocalyptic Tokyo

Scenes of Tokyo after all the people have vanished and nature has taken over. Some images of Osaka too.

(Hope you all haven't seen this already.)

Culture mix

Via Tokyo, Edwardian and Victorian fashions arrive in today's L.A.



Here are some still shots.

Here, kitty kitty....

This painting by a young Japanese artist comes to us via Tokyo Damage Report. Maybe you've seen this Web site before? If not, it's basically this American guy's blog about Tokyo subcultures and whatever else. Check out some of his entries - you could get lost for hours.

Here's another piece I enjoyed called "The Chinese Landscape on Kaiju." (Another translation might be "Monsters in Chinese Landscape.")

The Tokyo Damage Report blogger took photos of both paintings at a huge Tokyo exhibition for up-and-coming artists in May. The links above have photos of many, many more pieces.

(I've been wanting to post this for a while but had to wait until Oceanic fixed my Internets. Go Oceanic! They came through. It's a miracle.)
