REPLIES : Koriyama
I sincerely appreciated your reactions and comments about my last entry. I wanted to thank you all before the replies.
@MissVanleider Thank you, I am happy to see that you liked my work !
@MushyMushy I have also spent a lot of time on G.Earth to have this result. It is nice to see it was efficient, thank you !
@raynev1 Haha it is strange ! Living in France I have no problem. This was a song named Yoru no Odoriko, made by the Japanese band Sakanaction (one of my favorites, you should try to listen what they do)
@kschmidt Yeah, I noticed that Japanese cities have a very large variety of buildings. They are absoutely not uniform. That is what I tried to recreate. Anyway, thank you !
@feyss "Banality" is maybe not the appropriated word. I just wanted to underline the fact that this city looks like any other one in Japan. I appreciated your remark, thanks !
@_Michael That was one of my goals, capturing the atmosphere. Thank you !
@jmsepe Like I told you in private, this beautiful tower has been created by APTX. Here is the link if anyone else is interested.
@korver Thank you very much korver !
@Takingyouthere Yeah I saw that all the main Japanese CJs that I followed a few years ago had closed. That is a pity. I hope to see them opening again soon !
@Ln X Thank you for your comment, it is very nice !
ASOURA - A Japanese village on the sea
My holidays end very soon, and then, I will have to pass my exams. I will be quite busy. That is why I decided to post this entry now, only a week after my last one.
Asoura is a Japanese village located in the fictional prefecture of Koriyama. Compared to the biggest city of the region, just a few people live here, quietly. It is rare to see strangers aventuring in the area. There is nothing to see, except maybe the authenticity of the Japanese rurality.
The inhabitants of this village are mainly fishermen. Indeed, Asoura is located between the Pacific Ocean and a bay which has the same name. To protect the city against the dangers of the sea, a big wall has been built along the beach.
In 1994, a famous Japanese photographer flew above the city and took these photos. Asourans discovered for the first time the shape of their village. Today, they are exposed in the city hall.
