Cats and Bathhouses

A photo of a bathhouse facade with a cat at the entrance. The culture of relaxing in a hot bath is a distinctive feature of Japan. Moreover, the concept of communal bathing, as seen in bathhouses, is quite unique to Japan. This cat is likely beloved as the mascot of this local community hub.

A child in a festival coat eagerly leaning over a toy stall. Scenes like summer festivals, festival coats, and red-and-white curtains are uniquely Japanese. Festivals, as extraordinary events, excite people of all ages, and capturing them in photos reaffirms their value.

Ikebana
cizucu Editorial Team
A photo of flower arrangements at Hikawa Shrine. Despite the absence of flashy flowers, the arrangement of darker plants and the bamboo base create a harmonious and beautiful composition. The charm of ikebana lies in its ability to dynamically express life through the combination of still elements, reflecting the Japanese aesthetic of appreciating quiet beauty.
