Thu, 19 Oct 2023 18:00:00 +0900

No room is complete without a window, which serves as a link to the outside world and a reminder that there is more to life beyond these four walls. From the way the sun streams through in the morning to how the light slants and illuminates a person’s face during golden hour, windows provide the perfect backdrop to any scene. They’re also great tools to convey emotions in movies and illustrations—as the saying goes: “A window to the world outside can be a gateway to the soul inside.”

Look at the illustrations below, which all feature snapshots of everyday life near windowsills! We hope they serve as a reminder to take a break from whatever you might be doing and look at the view outside, no matter how busy you are. May these drawings serve as both light and inspiration for your day!

Is there a place in your home that you like to go to to relax? Many anime and manga fans will have seen scenes featuring the wooden verandas of traditionally built Japanese homes. It’s a spot where many characters come to contemplate life, have conversations with loved ones, or even just lounge about in the afternoon sun. This is also the case for many people in Japan as well, which may also explain the spot’s prevalence in many works of fiction.
