The Essentialist has been idle for a while.
Few reasons would ever allow myself for such sluggishness, yet spending a month in one my favorite cities - Tokyo - certainly belongs among them.
While staying in Akasaka and walking the entire city over and over again I stumbled upon this billboard at one of the Tokyo Metro stations.
It got me startled, not only because it's a great billboard, but more so because the Belgian carrier has been bankrupt.
I have no idea why the billboard was there and what it says and I deliberately didn't investigate with my Japanese friends.
I want to remember it as I saw it, the image of these kids. And for the record, a few other Sabena ads from the last century.
