Slowly but surely, a new leaf has come out in my room. Yet it’s still fragile.

State of emergency to be lifted for all of Japan today.

The fundamental things the virus has made me realize are how we depend on each other in the society and what I had thought ordinary is actually vulnerable. I know it is a cliche, but the thing is, I do miss my family and friends. Stay safe everybody!

言い古された表現かもしれないけれど、当たり前だと思っていた事は実はとても壊れやすいもので、社会の中で人はいかに他の人に頼って生きているか、と言うことをコロナウイルスに気づかされた。家族や友人が恋しいです。みんな無事で。 #covid_19 #stayhome

I passed this window of a hospital on my way to the grocery today looking so weird as if it was telling me that the Japanese medical system was going to be in a crisis, after seeing so many people acting normal as if nothing was going on......

Having stayed home and left just once for grocery for 30 mins in 5 days makes me feeling lonely.

Killing my hours by trying to take photos inside, edit old ones, read books, watch movies or series, drink and drink... Getting bored of watching films in my makeshift theatre, then switched Netflix to a news app on my Fire Stick, a press conference by WHO came up on my bedsheet-like-screen last night, and I agreed with what the man was saying in it.

The WHO chief director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom said in the press conference that “Unity is the only option we have to defeat this virus. COVID-19 is reminding us how vulnerable we are, how connected we are, and how dependent we are on each other. In the eye of a storm like COVID, scientific and public health tools are essential, but so are humility and kindness. With solidarity, humility and assuming the best of each other, we can and we will overcome this together." I thank YOU, Dr. Tedros.
Stay safe everyone.

@hirokikobayashi_ on an assignment on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for @natgeo. It’s an honor to be part of it, learned every single day and moment through witnessing the scenes and listening to the experiences of the war survivors. It’s been 75 years this year from the war, we really need to take over the stories of them and preserve what still remained for not repeating human’s stupidity. #hiroshima #nagasaki
