Daily-life diary

Preserving analog style

We document the transition from analog film to early digital camera street blogging. Our archive captures candid moments, low-fi snapshots, and subcultural identities before they fade from memory.

Each image represents a moment of genuine self-expression on the streets of Shimokitazawa and Hongdae, cataloged for those who appreciate nostalgic warmth.

Weekly archival drops

We wander through basement shops and street markets in Tokyo, hand-picking authentic pre-loved pieces that carry real historical character.

We document daily-life aesthetics and street trends in Seoul, capturing the raw energy of East Asian youth culture through our lens.

Every Thursday at 8 PM, we release curated second-hand drops of deadstock items, keeping authentic vintage garments in active circulation.
