”Do you think it will rain?” I asked.

She did not reply. Only laughed.

Bulldozed Fantasies:

This old Showa era house nearby was a hidden gem. Barely visible through the trees that surrounded it, it was an old wooden structure of the type disappearing in Tokyo (largely due to earthquake and fire regulations) that reminded me of something out of Tonari no Totoro. It even had signs that Meguro ward recognized some of the trees there as worthy of preservation.

Alas, as Tonari no Totoro is a fantasy, the idea that Meguro would preserve those trees, let alone the house itself is too. The last I saw of it in November, it was a cleared dirt lot with a few scraggy trees not yet removed. My fantasy---as always an absurd fantasy---of somehow living in a house like that in Tokyo took a hit. Then, observing what the January 1 earthquake in Isahikawa did to such old wooden houses with heavy tile roofs, my fantasy disappeared forever.
