Okay, so picture this: your girl Alex, chilling in 1932 Kyoto, trying to figure out how to TikTok without, you know, a phone. 🤪 This place is seriously leveling up my appreciation for analog aesthetics. I stumbled upon the cutest fan stall in the market, and I’m not even kidding, the artistry is next-level!
The hand-painted designs were just *chef’s kiss*, but what really caught my eye were these faded vintage photos of geishas and kabuki actors. Talk about iconic! It’s like stepping into a time capsule, and honestly, my brain is short-circuiting from all the historical coolness. History class could NEVER compare to this. I spotted a tiny coin gleaming on the cobblestones near the stall. Someone must have dropped it. So I picked it up to take a closer look! I almost pocketed it as a souvenir, but then placed it back down, deciding to leave history undisturbed.
Documenting this for the ‘gram (if ‘gram existed back then, lol)! It’s wild seeing how different things were, but also how much the dedication to beauty and craftsmanship remains. Kyoto, you’re officially killing it! #blessed #oldbutgold
