Kawaii Nostalgica

Kawaii Nostalgika is the photoblog of a Swiss guy named Aldo who takes wonderful (and sometimes a bit creepy) retro-style photos of Tokyo. Click here for the main page or here for thumbnails of all the photos.

Locked Temple

Locked temple in Kamakura.

Space Dolphins

Space dolphins! This is at once the best and worst painting I have ever seen in my life. Artistically bad, but great because no matter how many times I see it, it still makes me laugh out loud.

Geidai Flower Boxes

Flower boxes at Tokyo University of the Arts. Every year they have a fantastic festival in September.

Tokyo Detention Center

This is the Tokyo Detention Center near my home in Katsushika-ku. The building always reminds me of the Immigration Bureau in Shinagawa. Click here to read an interesting account of a foreigner’s experience here, or visit this National Police Agency page with photos of the inside.
