Otaru 100 Scenes vol.5

"What is this?" I found while walking around Otaru

One fine evening, the moment I spotted him in the North Canal, I couldn't help but let out a little cry: "Who are you?!"

The large pyramidal roof stretching towards the sky was separated into blocks by snow guards or something, giving it the appearance of a stepped form depending on how you look at it.

It reminded me exactly of the stepped primitive pyramids at Saqqara in Egypt, and it brought back the same excitement I felt when I first saw them there lol.

Because it was surrounded on three sides by other buildings, at first he couldn't grasp the overall shape, so he ran around and found an empty lot on one side, and the view from there led to another amazing discovery.

Again, the question is "What about you?"

If one side of the pyramid roof were a hairstyle, it would be a "7:3" part.

...No, there were some issues, like "19/10."

Why is there such a problem?

What is the secret hidden in this Aya?

Maybe a 7:3 hairstyle wouldn't have worked...and so on.

I think this Aya alone qualifies as an unusual piece of architecture.

And he's a pyramid.

Along with building the pyramids, I imagine it must have been extremely difficult to create this hairstyle given the technology of the time.

Another mystery about the pyramids has been added lol.

Commonly known as: Pyramid Ichikyu
