Snap! Tokyo and London

The last few times I’ve been to Tokyo, I keep noticing things that seem very similar. This afternoon, I was walking around Wimbledon in London, and I spotted a detail on the side of the public library that I’d not noticed before. I was struck by the visual similarity to a photo I’d taken in Tokyo a few weeks ago.
