Sunlight through trees

I took this photo in 2016, long before the movie Perfect Days came out in 2023. The film follows the routine life of Hirayama, who cleans public restrooms and during his breaks, relaxes by having a bite to eat on a park bench and taking photos of the sun shining through the leaves above. I have since learned that the word in Japanese for the appreciation of sunlight coming through a canopy of leaves overhead is komorebi (木漏れ日).

I also learned the movie, although directed by Wim Wenders,

Uniqlo is a mass market fashion brand. Most of my about-the-flat clothes are from there and with a 34" waist, the XL is a good fit for me. Here is a trailer of Perfect Days.
