Some architecture I find intriguing, some not. It is not always clear to me why. This building I found intriguing.
It may be because it was different from the other buildings around it. Or it may have been something instrinsic.
It's not particularly old, being built in 1932. When I visited it a few years ago it was a hardware store that was still in business, though it seems to have closed now. It is located in Aburatsu, an old port town in Nichinan, Miyazaki.
I was there on the 24th day of my walk along the Kyushu Pilgrimage, visiting a temple in the town.
