🌏️ About us. 🗾
Hiro and his 4 roommates live in a very old house in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.
I (Hiro) am an IT engineer and have been renting the house for over 10 years.
My roommates are Chinese, Japanese, and Nepalis, including a queer woman.
They are a voice actor, an engineer, and a student. (so they are immigrant.)
They love anime, games, and music. Common language is Japanese for us.
Room sharing and coming out of the closet are uncommon in Japan.
🗻 Art project 🗼
My friend drew a mural, but there was still free space on the wall.
So I started to find artists to add their paintings to the wall on this site.
At least 20 people from all over the world have joined this art project so far.
We don't have any art skills. Offer the chance but not to join the project.
🥷 The neighborhood 👘
Two stations from Ikebukuro and thirty minutes from Shinjuku and Shibuya.
Very quiet residential area, but there are some restaurants and shops.
My house is very old and poorly ventilated, and it's in a natural area.
Not suitable for people with asthma or allergies to dust or animals.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Sake, Japanese rice wine, is more than just a popular drink.
It also plays an essential role in many aspects of Japanese tradition and culture.
I offer my proudly homemade umeshu, Japanese plum wine, to my guest.
If my roommates have time, we can do a party at home or go out to drink all night.
Japan invented QR codes and emoji but also created pop culture too.
(ex: anime, manga, cosplay, video games, karaoke and so on)
My roommates can share their knowledge of Japanese pop culture.
One of them knows how to play guitar and other instruments, as well as skateboard.
My roommate used to go to women's bars in Shinjuku Ni-chome, the gay district.
Now she doesn't have time to go there, but she can tell her recommendation bars.
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy centered on finding beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompletion, appreciating the simple, rustic, and aged rather than the artificial or perfect. It is a vision that embraces the transient nature of life and the natural world, viewing flaws, such as cracks or wear, not negatively but as integral parts of an object's or experience's beauty and authenticity. However, understanding the concept correctly is challenging, as wabi-sabi is a word that’s difficult to articulate and grasp linguistically, relying more on a sensory understanding. You can feel these Japanese aesthetics in my old house.
