The nest

Jiyūgaoka last week.
We checked out the area and also took a trip to Shibuya (where i needed to do some fabric shopping) and Harajuku.

Jiyūgaoka was nice and full of cafés and cool little interior design shops, and i found a few pretty little things that i had to own.
It was, however, also a nesting area, as my husband called it.
We have never seen so many pregnant ladies, babies and small children anywhere in Tokyo, so i guess this is where they've been hiding this whole time!
However, there was not a baby-tank in sight.
Japanese women carry their offspring in a baby sling*, and the babies apparently don't need to bring any more accessories than the mom can fit into a purse that's often tinier than mine, and this of course makes the battle of the sidewalk far less vicious than where we come from.
Denmark, take notes.

The optimum of boys style?

Cutest Shiba in Jiyūgaoka
Japanese ladies love it when we photograph their dogs!

*They will occasionally bring out a baby stroller, but i swear, there's not one tank in this whole city.
