Last night I dozed off on the last train from Shibuya and found myself in Shimbashi, awoke with a start and ran to what I thought was the right train, but wound up headed to Yokohama. Got off in Kamata and found a "Capsule Hotel."
I'd never stayed in one before, but since the taxi home would have been about a hundred bucks, the $30 "room" was a really good option. They're surprisingly comfortable and not claustrophobic at all...
For 119 pictures in 2019, #58 "in your time capsule", These are some items representing particular times in my life: a box of Ektachrome slides from the late 1960s, a (still valid) passport for all the times I had to travel to Europe on business (over the last few years, before I retired), and a collection of guitar picks for the time I used to build and play guitars.

A friend was ordering parts from a Polish BrickLink store and asked if there was anything I wanted while he was doing an international order. I noticed they had the a lot of the new (ish) 2x2 turntable pieces going cheap, so when the order arrived, I immediately set to work to build something with a few of them. Thus the Micropolis Capsule Hotel was born. Cheap and cheerful, it's a popular place to stay while visiting the tiny city. Ref: D1710-052

The iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower, in Shimbashi, is still hanging on by the skin of its teeth. Probably not much longer left to see this supreme example of Japanese Metabolism. It's already covered with netting and looks rather dilapidated. In all my years in Tokyo today was the first time I've been up close to it.

APOLOGIES
Apologies to all my contacts for not visiting and commenting. Work and weather are both very trying, first week back at work under a mega heat wave. Every day is over 40C heat, yesterday was 45C and today 46C. While it was pleasant to see my colleagues and be in a swish new office, my body is complaining about the lack of lying down and napping.

The flowers are succeeded by large, eggshaped seed capsules of a green colour, about the size of a large walnut and covered with numerous sharp spines, hence the name of the plant. When ripe, this seed-vessel opens at the top, throwing back four valve-like forms, leaving a long, central structure upon which are numerous rough, dark-brown seeds. The appearance of the plant when in flower and fruit is so peculiar that it cannot be mistaken for any other native herb.
The plant is smooth, except for a slight downiness on the younger parts, which are covered with short, curved hairs, which fall off as growth proceeds. It exhales a rank, very heavy and somewhat nauseating narcotic odour. This foetid odour arises from the leaves, especially when they are bruised, but the flowers are sweet-scented, though producing stupor if their exhalations are breathed for any length of time.
The plant is strongly narcotic, but has a peculiar action on the human frame which renders it very valuable as a medicine.
