I saw this size only in Japan! Sometimes I saw these small cans, specially on tombs or dead altars.

This is the result of buying whatever you find in Akihabara. Maybe I should recycle the magnets inside or the plates? This is just a lot of junk that spent already 2 years in my balcony…  

Do you have an iPad and a book support? That’s what I had at home. I had one book support that I didn’t use, it cost 100 yen, it’s about 0.9€ or $1.3 then you need something to stick on it so the iPad won’t slide down. That’s all :-)

This is in Yurakucho, on my way to the Apple Store in Ginza. The panel is full of pictures of the same model and she’s wearing in different styles. You have to give a “like” to the one you like :)

It’s quite usual in Tokyo to see a building in some place, and after one week or less it just disappeared and after some months, you come back to the same place and you see a new building. Tokyo’s shape changes really quickly, but what I saw today wa...

Just look at this screenshot from Apple and let me know what you think: I’m not criticizing Apple. In fact it’s one of the few companies that is really trying to combine design, technology, usability and performance in their products. Even if stora...

If you want to see an example of what is NOT a democratic country, of what is NOT a Government that thinks about their own people and that ONLY cares about the interest of corrupt politicians, here you have the ballot that, we Italians, have to vote...

Just to let you know that my previous photography blog: www.darkboxnotes.com has been moved to www.zucowall.com I think it’s better to include all my photography stuff under one domain. I’m planing to add everything visual and photography to zucowall...

The term flyjin has been created in the twitter world of foreigners and expats living in Japan. It’s a kind of a derivative joke from the word “gaijin” which in some context is a pejorative term of the formal “gaikokujin” meaning “foreigner”. Basical...

It was about 3 weeks of silence due to the great Tohoku earthquake. I have a lot to say and little time for blogging so let’s start. However, what you will find here are not breaking news, but thoughts and conclusions from the point of view of a fore...

Uamou is a cute character with horns designed by Ayako Takagi, and he’s always with his friend Boo the ghost. Recently Ayako opened her own shop in Akihabra, under the train line in the 2k540 facility. I decided to go see for my self what the place l...

I took this photo from the observatory floor in the Mori tower. I think it my best photo of Tokyo tower.

So obviously right now, all the big news are about the earthquake aftermath, the tsunami victims and the current state of the nuclear power plants. I wish I could give you more information, but I’m not a news reporter, and this is just a puny photobl...

I went for the first time at the top of Mori tower this week-end. I don’t know why I waited so long to go there, it probably one of the most famous attraction that every tourist do in their first few days in Tokyo, but for me, it took me more than a...

I don’t know why, I was feeling for some Wonda’s coffee this morning after taking the train.

I discover a really cool designer toys store in Yokohama called “Sup!” They mostly have a kidrobot stuff, but really, is that a bad thing ^_^ I brought back a Munny home with me, I’ll try to figure out something cool to do with it. Munny is the most...

Last Sunday was a special day for many of us. Joseph Tame, again this year he accomplished his challenge to broadcast Tokyo Marathon from the runner perspective. He carried several iPhones, batteries, and an iPad and a very fancy look. He was surroun...

Sugamo (巣鴨) is a neighborhood in Toshima, it is also known as “Baba Harajuku” or “Old people harajuku”. You can find all sorts of clothing shops for the elderly of course, but also small stores that hold tea, dried snack, pickle veggies, flowers an...

I don’t want to turn this site into an otaku fest, but I think it pretty fun to shoot toys outside, makes them feel more alive! I will try to keep him in my camera bag and do this more often ^_^ “The MS-06 Zaku II is a mobile suit from the Mobile Su...

This photo was taken near Shimbashi station, an area with tons of izakayas and bars. Seems like all the salary man of Tokyo meet each other for a beer after work in this district. It did not rain that day, but some owner of one of the bar decide to c...
