The story:

The Shrine in Japan

It’s late autumn, and evening has already settled over the outskirts of Japan.

Walking alone along a quiet road, you stumble upon an old shrine tucked away among the trees. The dry evening air carries the scent of dark, aged wood and incense from somewhere within.

There’s a slight harshness to it — dry wood, lingering smoke, and years of weathering. Yet as you stand there a little longer, it becomes strangely grounding.

Quietly reminding you that some things have been here long before you.

The Furniture Shop in Singapore

You take a walk through the older streets of Singapore, away from the familiar storefronts and crowds.

A rich woody scent catches your attention outside an old furniture shop. Inside, the smell of solid timber mixes with incense from a small altar near the entrance.

An uncle sits quietly by the doorway, fixing an old clock with careful hands. You don’t know him, but somehow, the scene feels familiar.

Like a little piece of old Singapore, still quietly carrying on.
