ahh I would enjoy to roam in tempting searches in such spaces. Especially in Japan. With all the unknown stories behind all the stuff...and if my senses are clear enough to touch them and maybe, just maybe, hear the voice and story of the Thing. My girl would be able to spend days in there if she visits such a place in Japan. She loves some pieces with history hidden in small little wooden boxes
if we ever get to visit ....

 My buddy and I went to an old city. There we found many abandoned houses for what reasons I don't know. Inside we found lots of great treasures, pictures and old goods that are now left to dust. I have a deep love and respect for used things and truly believe if something was used enough and used with care and love that the feelings and stories of the previous own stays with the items. A little wooden box was most likely a very special hiding place for someone where they put their most cherished items. I too get excited pondering and looking at old places. Once in the mountains while biking, we found an old house that was torn down or burnt down but there were thousands of everyday things just left to ponder and gaze at. I was there looking for so long and preoccupied that when I looked up all my buddies had moved on! ahhahahhahahah I must go back to these places someday. Visiting new places is always tough but if Im still here, I can help the adventure!
