“glorification of an imagined unified Western Traditional Culture as the single objective best culture is a fascist red flag” and “a lot of modern vernacular architecture is boring, actively harmful to the mental health of people who live around it, destroying older buildings that had more personality, and shoddily built + as bland as possible for the ever profit-focused needs of capitalism” are concepts that can coexist
like. yes, be wary of Roman Statue Profile Pics decrying “modernity” on Twitter, but the idea that IKEAfying the world is somehow Progressive and if you don’t like it you MUST be far-right is just. bizarre

Souvenir from Kyoto : Maiko Bookmarks
Found this at a shophouse at Kiyomizudera and it reminds me of my favourite comfort show, The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House.

それほど空いていない旅館 -haunted ryokan-
« abandoned or..? why couldn’t the guests stay there for more than one night and quickly moved out, whispering about the constant feeling of prying eyes on them? now it seems empty in the light of day, but where are the strange rustling and crackling sounds coming from? no one knows it, and no one wants to stay around by the night! but if someone's dare, they might see something when dusk begins to fall, and ghosts start to appear making all the creepy rumors and legends come true »

i'm thinking asakiku modern au where arthur has an horror/supernatural related podcast in which he talks about different spooky things and have people working in the paranormal field as guests, he even record past midnight (for the mood™) and sometimes he makes live sessions where he accepts calls from his followers to share anecdotes or answer questions.
he is very popular and enjoys a lot.
one night in one of those live sessions he gets a call from a someone who claims to live in a "haunted shrine" where he's the priest (or is preparing to be the next one) and he hasn't been able to sleep thanks to the noises he hears at night and various "strange happenings" that happen during the day.
arthur is intrigued.
so the stranger invites him to visit and see, he isn't afraid whatsoever just wants to know if there is anything that can be done.
"my name is kiku honda, by the way, please if you can come and help us"
and arthur finds himself unable to say no.
days later he goes to the shrine (the address given by this kiku honda via dm) to, honestly he isn't even sure what he expect to find but he is very interested in the case and is sure this will bring very good numbers to his channel ("urban explorations" being that trendy and all)
upon arrival, he encounters the aforementioned man who had been waiting impatiently for him (if arthur is dazed by his cute eyes and easy smile, his jet black hair and perfectly ironed traditional clothes that look great on him, he doesn't t show it) kiku explains the kind of work he does at the shrine and how it has been almost abandoned for the last few years since the death of the last priest.
"abandoned? i imagine that's an urgency and the reason why you need to be preparing so many people at the same time" arthur explains more to himself
"what do you mean, mr kirkland?"
"oh, please just call me arthur" he asks, feeling strangely embarrassed "and you know, i've been seeing many priests and other men going up and down the aisles since i arrived, must be quite bussy in here since they didn't come to say hi, your kind sure are quiet and reserved people am i right?"
the joke dying in his lips seeing the change of expression in the opposite.
"arthur..."
"yeah?"
a silence accompanied by a chill.
"i live alone at this shrine"
.
.
.
that day arthur, not only learned that all his work in previous years had led him to the right place at the right time but also learned that maybe, and only, maybe, he could "see things" , and that made him rethink his entire existence.
