I went back to the Shimokitazawa Tengu-matsuri again this year! I went last year as well, and it was one of the most fun festivals I’ve been to in Tokyo. Plus Shimokitazawa is a really nice neighborhood; the streets are packed with small stores, cafes and eateries. I would spend a lot more time there if it wasn’t so far away from my place…! ><

Updates are coming at longer intervals than what I intended for the new year, but ah. I’m considering moving the entire blog to another hosting site by April, so I’m a bit up in the air. Tumblr is nice and all, but it’s not really the service for hosting a blog for me. I’ve been using Wordpress lately for a blog for one of my uni classes and I like it a lot, though just like with Tumblr I have a hard time finding a layout that support large images. Ack. I have no idea how any of this works. Would maybe be better of hiring someone to do it for me?

Anyway, more photos!

(all pictures taken with nikon d3000 + manual 50mm f/1.4 lens. please leave a comment if you’re going to repost any images.)
