Hannō 飯能





These are a few photos I took during our layover (can I use that for train transfers) in Hannō on our way to Koma last weekend: some strips of iron, the official Hannō manhole cover (full-color edition), an alley location (partial), and a Singer sewing machines sign (again, partial). I’m especially fond of the third, although I’m certain some will find that the least “aesthetic” of the bunch. (I should reference that I’ve mentioned before the ubiquity of this “blue-red-rust-old wood” combo in the corners of Japan.)
