afternoon light on November 2 near Sabae city limit
It is nice to see traditional (or modern interpretation of traditional elements) landscaping prepared and maintained. Perhaps the current residents commissioned the garden a generation ago, when mobile computing and telecommunication were not raging.
In those days one's workplace was one world and one's home was another world; the two were not blurred or encroached upon. But for houses on large rural lots, it is possible that new owners are less inclined to invest money or spend time cultivating a home space, since more and more of their conscious presence and presence of mind dwells in social media spaces or handheld devices; not in the living, breathing context of IRL "in real life."
