Ao-Bura Literature Department | The Aesthetics of the Incomplete

Nagoya Railroad, a vital transportation infrastructure in my home prefecture of Aichi.
We affectionately call it Meitetsu.

If you only focus on the destination display board, you might find that your train has departed before you know it, leaving you stranded on the platform.
If you rush in thinking, 'Ah, I made it!', you might find it's a train that doesn't actually head to your destination.

At Meitetsu Nagoya Station, if you don't activate your all-direction concentration system, you might fall into such a miracle and be struck by bottomless anxiety, wondering if you were tricked by a fox or if you suddenly went senile.

The trains are old and there are no fun trains, but perhaps following the showy temperament of Aichi people, the cars heading to Chubu Centrair International Airport are stylish and beautiful😊
The fact that even that is not 'everything' is endearing, as it aligns with the temperament of the people of Aichi.

At one station... the gap between the train and the platform was terrifyingly wide in some parts.

It really is too dangerous‼️
Isn't it nothing but dangerous‼️

Even if it's only in some parts, it's not kind to the elderly or children.
If you were walking while looking at your phone, you would fall right in.

Trains prefer straight lines or gentle curves, while platforms prefer distorted curves (or so it seems).
It's like a tug-of-war between stubborn people who won't bend their will.

A gap like an incomplete puzzle.
The margin where the sparkle changes tickles one's sense of playfulness.
Hehehe... isn't it interesting.

Fortunately, I have the legs and athletic ability to step over it.

An era where complete safety and security are demanded, and caution is required.
Such a thing probably doesn't exist.

I would like to apply to Akira Yamane's project.
Thank you as always for the prompts😊
I feel a kind of 'beauty' in the incompleteness of my beloved Meitetsu...💦 Sorry.

📝This is just the result of expanding on my personal impressions. The image above is only a small part, and safe boarding and alighting are possible in most areas.
Also, I do not hold the opinion that leaving dangerous areas as they are is acceptable.
It seems that depending on the station, Meitetsu has sections where the platform curves to match the terrain. I find myself thinking about the history of how the platforms were built.
When you visit Aichi Prefecture, please be very careful with your footing and enjoy your trip.
