As a home

Coming home to Ginza.

Tea at the round table by the window, the street lights below. By day Ginza belongs to everyone. The quiet after the shops close belongs to the forty-eight households who live here.

The residence by day: coral curtains and sheers at two windows, an olive-green wall to the right carrying a single framed print, a bed with a navy headboard and sage throw, a round wooden table with orange chairs in the foreground and an orange bench beyond.

The made bed seen head-on: a navy upholstered headboard, white linen, two shearling cushions and a sage-green throw across the foot, with a daylit window to the left, coral curtains to the right, and a lamp and books on the side table.
