When I found out that it was a rental gallery designed by Tadao Ando, I decided to pay a visit.

 

A warm sunny day.
However, from early in the morning the JR train service was delayed.
I decided to take the Hankyu train, but it too stopped running on the way.
I got off at Sannomiya Station, checked that the train was running normally and entered JR Sannomiya Station.

 

As seen on the gallery's website, the natural light from the large windows is beautiful. In the courtyard is a camphor tree. As it is an evergreen tree, its greenery is beautiful even at this time of year.

The guest rooms are only on the first floor, but the owner kindly allowed me to see the second and third floors, which have a stairwell. There were several antique bisque dolls, which were simply stunning.

I left, imagining myself photographing beautiful ladies in my favourite puff-sleeved dresses.

 

After returning home, I learnt the details of the accident that caused the Hankyu train to stop running from the news on the internet.
I never met the person, but I was terribly saddened and sincerely wished her peace of mind.
