Looking out my window on a clear blue day, I see…. laundry!
When the day is short and sunlight is scarce in winter, every clear blue sky must be taken advantage of. Laundry-wise.
Lots of mansions where I live. If you don’t have the luxury of a roof balcony, laundry gets hung at the narrow veranda. Clothes, futon etc. everything comes out. Hangers are used alot here. Every t-shirt has its own hanger and is hung on a laundry pole. Do you hang laundry the same way or do you prefer a line and directly hang your laundry over the line?
Futon’s (mattress hanging off the rail) aren’t washed though. They are brought out for some sun and “beaten” with a futon stick to get rid of mites that one might share the night with. ^^. A pretty good practice I might say. You can get huge clips that hold on to the futon when it’s hung on the rail from the local ¥100 store. Have you ever slept in a futon?
Would be disastrous if a strong gust of wind blew the futons away. Not good indeed for the people below.
I also see solar panels though. Anyone with solar panel experience?
(Thanks to Shane at the Nihon Sun for the “Looking out my window” idea!)

Airing you laundry is so common in Japan but I think that it surprises a lot of visitors. You can learn a lot about your neighbors by their laundry too
