A photo taken in an alley of a residential area. In the foreground, two people are working, and a person walking in the background seems to be heading to work. It must be a morning scene. The photo conveys the diligence of the Japanese people, which supports Japan's reliable postal services.
Additionally, the elements in the photo suggest movement and sound, allowing one to vividly imagine the scenes that might unfold next.

Planters with plants lined up next to an old-fashioned entrance. The wooden mailbox has no lid, and the door is open, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. Meanwhile, the light above the entrance is modern and sophisticated, adding a nice touch.
The plants in the planters are well cared for, evoking the image of a friendly grandmother who enjoys tending to her plants daily as a hobby in her retirement.

Is this an alley off the main street of a small shopping district or market? Many of the shops in the photo are already closed, but the signs and curtains do not give off an old or dilapidated vibe.

Under the table at the florist on the corner, a familiar green watering can is tucked away, adding a sense of everyday life.
