Tokyo is often touted as a titan when it comes to technology, but while some citizens may well manage their manga on a mobile, or even seek out solace with silicone sirens, others have to make do without even that far from modern workhorse, the washing machine.

In Minami-Senju (Tokyo) is full of these…
No problem for me, they’ll come out clean. It’s just old, but the place is clean.
