Tokyo to Hachinohe · the Coastal Trail, day one · Tuesday 6 October 2026
5.38pm. Three on the bench seat. Sent by Virginia.
Virginia’s first evening frames: a dinner at 5.38 in a small room hung with pictures and paper, three of the women on the bench seat with a fringed cushion between them, and the long table from the other end with two of the men.
Two frames, seconds apart: three of the women along the bench, the walls behind them papered with photographs and notes; then the table from the far end, two of the men nearest the camera, the room narrow and red-framed and lit by one lamp.
Nothing written with Tuesday’s two frames. The log has added nothing.
Tuesday’s daytime is still in the phones. The share page takes it.
A small room, papered with pictures, and the table full.
