The reason for being slim Photo

Photographer’s Note

Except for Sumo wrestlers, most Japanese are slim. Of course there are some more exceptions(there are always exceptions in anything).

Generally the houses in Japan are so small so we developed our body to fit in them? (j/k).. Well, but this house exceeds the size for general house in Japan.

How do they sleep in this house?
How do they arrange table and chairs?

So many questions just came up to me as I saw this house. Then I came to the idea that I would introduce this building to the world. Only if people decide to enlarge this post to see, they would probablly notice what this photo was for.

Just want to make sure to say that Japanese generally lives in larger(wider) house than this.

I can't belive someone really lives in this skinny little house! What a great capture!

Very enjoyable image, reminds me of many uniquely shaped buildings in Tokyo, built to insane specifications due to limitations of land space. I guess in Japan's third largest metropolis of Nagoya, the same holds true, which is interesting to see.

One suggestion, if you could eliminate the pole and wires, it might be a little less distracting...
