Hajimemashite! I’m Darrick (no, not Derek). I currently live in Northern Japan and I’ve been taking photos for about 5 years now. I run my own site (XJGPhoto.com) and I’ve known Terrell since High School! He’s been nice enough to let me do a few guest posts here on Domo Factor. Any questions, just ask! Or hit me up on my site! Thanks and lets get to it! First photo!

Smoking is a part of Japanese culture now-a-days. I mean, I’m sure it was before the west showed up, but if you go to Japan now, you’re more likely to see more people smoking on one street, than you will in a whole day in the states. And even with all that smoking, the streets are cleaner!
This photo is of a Japanese Smoking Room inside one of the malls. Instead of making people go outside and into the cold, wind, or rain, they’ve made little rooms scattered throughout the mall that have built in ventilation to keep the smoke from gathering. As a result, they’re usually very clean and don’t smell like smoke at all. Nifty, right?
(Also, not me pictured haha)
