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

I can't believe it's such an early farewell... July 30th... Do you remember "Mappa" that we introduced to you all? He was born over 90 years ago at the former Nippon Express Otaru branch.

My neighbor said, "The exterior walls and other parts of the house are in a very bad state of disrepair, so they're going to have to demolish it soon." I had heard that, but I never imagined it would be removed so soon. I felt an indescribable attachment to him, so I'm very sad. It's an emotion I'll only feel now that he's gone.

It makes me think again about how difficult it is to maintain historical structures, including buildings. I remember saying, "He's completely naked," and he was forced to leave the building for public indecency. It was just a joke... Please forgive me.

Nickname: Mappa...Iku
