Déambulations / Ambling along the Arakawa river's banks The part of the Arakawa River that flows through the eastern part of Tokyo is called the Sumida River. Central to Edo culture, the Sumida, which was celebrated by writer Nagai Kafu (1879-1959), is today nothing more than a canal flowing between two concrete walls. After the great flood of 1910, it was decided to divert the main flow of the

“The photo is the hunt, it’s the instinct of hunting without the desire to kill. It’s the hunt of angels. You trail, you aim, you fire and — clic! — instead of a dead man, you make him everlasting.”“La photo, c’est la chasse, c’est l’instinct de chasse sans l’envie de tuer. C’est la chasse des anges… On traque, on vise, on tire et — clic! au lieu d’un mort, on fait un éternel.”Chris MarkerThese

The network of shopping arcades located in Nishinari ku -a southern ward of Osaka, links Kamagasaki, Japan’s largest district for day labourers, Tobita Shinchi a brothel district controlled by Yakuza and the entertainment district of Shinsekai (New World).

The construction of the "Palais du Commissariat de France" or "Hôtel du Résident Supérieur" in Phnom Penh was completed in 1942. Symbol of the French Colonial power, the building was chosen by Pol Pot to settle the Democratic Kampuchea government's headquarters. 2008 > link | >link (small size -recommended for 15 inches screens)

Located at the end of the Cardamom Mountain Range (Phnom Kamchay), overlooking the Gulf of Siam, Bokor (Bo Kau: hump of the zebu) is the highest point of the Popokvil massif (where clouds are turning). In 1917, the French colonial administration in Cambodia decided to build a weather station at Bokor. Together with Halong Bay and the ruins of Angkor, it was considered as one of the most beautiful

During the feudal period, when Tokyo was called Edo, the city was divided into 2 parts. The aristocracy resided to the west on the hills and the low castes occupied the marsh along the Sumida river to the east. This part of the city is called Shitamachi, the low city. Most Tokyo residents never cross the Sumida. Vice versa, a resident of Shitamachi will brag about never having visited Aoyama.

Avec des années de retard sur Bangkok et Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh est à son tour frappé par le choc de la globalisation. Le Cambodge qui connaît depuis 3 années consécutives un taux de croissance supérieur à 10% et une situation politique apaisée est en pleine mutation. Considérée dans les années 60 comme l'une des plus belle ville d'Asie en raison de son unité architecturale et d'un

Dans les années 1910 les français développèrent un petit port de pêche dans la province méridionale de Kampot pour y établir une station balnéaire qu'ils nommèrent Kep sur Mer. Lieu de villégiature à la mode dans les années soixante, la bourgeoisie de Phnom Penh y fit construire des résidences secondaires dont certaines sont des exemples très réussis de la "Nouvelle Architecture Khmer".

The operas created during the Chinese cultural revolution (1966/1976) under the direction of Mao Zedong's ambitious wife Jiang Qing, the so called " eight great model works" have deeply marked the decade which preceded the death of chairman Mao and occupied a prevailing position in arts during that period. The movies, the songs, the images produced after the 'works' are a major record of that

Les villas en ruine de Kep seraient pour celui qui s'emploierait à y déchiffrer les graffitis d'un riche enseignement sur la vie de leurs occupants de 1975 à nos jours. Leurs propriétaires ayant disparus dans la tourmente des années de guerre civile, elles furent occupées successivement par les Khmers Rouges et les soldats vietnamiens. Quand la situation s'apaisa, la population locale qui avait

Le 29 Avril est un jour férié au Japon. On y célébrait avant 1989 l'anniversaire de l'empereur Hirohito. A sa mort ce jour de fête nationale fut supprimé. C'est sous le nom de Jour de Showa, faisant référence à la période Showa (1926-1989) qui correspond à la durée du règne de Hirohito, qu'il fut rétabli en 2005 sous la pression des députés conservateurs.
