Coca-Cola is installing what the company claims to be the world’s first hydrogen-powered vending machines at the World Expo 2025, which will open to the public in Osaka, Japan, on April 13th, 2025. Co-developed by Fuji Electric, the machines don’t need access to a power outlet and instead rely on replaceable hydrogen cartridges to fuel a chemical reaction that generates electricity, @theverge reports:

New obsession: kei truck gardens 軽トラガーデン. No idea this was a thing but apparently there are even competitions in Japan and I absolutely love it #keitruck #japan #Mosstodon

Life is Cinema.

Shot this up at the wonderful Tamagawa Sengen Shrine a couple of days ago.

Six vertical shots stitched into a cinematic panorama.

I like longer lenses and how they render the world, especially when shot with the aperture wide open.

You can't really get the same look shooting the whole scene in one shot, with a wide.

The word 'kōyō' (紅葉), although used for all autumn colours, specifically refers to 'red leaves'. The word 'ōyō' (黄葉) describes 'yellow leaves', and the word 'katsuyō' (褐葉) 'brown leaves'.

Warm sunny days and crisp cold nights help leaves achieve their most vivid colours.

🍂LEAF HUNTING🍁

In Japan 'autumn foliage', depending on the reading, is known as 'momiji' (紅葉) or 'kōyō' (紅葉).
Originally the terms referred to any tree that changed colour for autumn, but over time they became synonymous with the maple (楓 'kaede')🍁

Autumn leaves its mark on Eikan-do.
Eikan-do alone has 3000 maple trees. That is a lot of raking come the end of autumn.

Admiring the autumn foliage is known as 'momijigari' (紅葉狩り lit. 'hunting for autumn leaves') in Japanese🔎👀🍁👏

The 'gari' (狩り) in 'momijigari' (紅葉狩り) originally referred to the capturing of wild animals and birds, but over time also came to mean 'harvesting', 'gathering' or 'picking' plants.
Another example of this is 'kudamono-gari' (果物狩り), which means to gather fruit.

In #Japan, the concept of accessible phones has been known since the early 00's and has its own term, "Raku Raku Phones" and means simplified phones. Those are adapted for the needs of elderly users and those who don't feel as familiar with modern technology so a lot of concepts are, well, simplified. This is especially important given that the 00's saw the emergence of Japanese mobile phones with capacities comparable to today's smartphones. Sending emails, taking photos, mobile payments, music recognition and downloads; even TV watched on a phone were all there by 2005 and formed an important part of how the Japanese society accessed information. This is why the Raku Raku phones manufactured jointly by Fujitsu and NTT Docomo, the leading Japanese mobile carrier, were so important. Fujitsu called to the corporate social responsibility of other companies to follow suit and also formed the basis for accessibility guidelines for I-Mode, the gateway to all of Japan's mobile internet services. Apparently, 80% of Japan's blind population used these phones as they were equipped with a screen reader and allowed accessing I-Mode this way. fujitsu.com/global/documents/a…

Weather is not climate but ...

"... across Japan the skies are clear, and the mercury is stuck in the high 30s and has twice broken through 40C this week. And that's just the official temperature - out of the shade it's often much hotter. Even though summer has barely begun, 263 places across Japan have seen temperature records broken in the last six days, according to meteorologist Sayaka Mori."
