Fukuoka Station Christmas Tree Decorated with Lost and Found Items

 

A train station in Fukuoka Japan is decorated with unclaimed lost and found items, ranging from a guitar to summer hand held fans, as well as sunglasses and other unclaimed items. According to JR Kyushu, approximately 240,000 lost and found items were turned in during fiscal 2024. Cash and plastic umbrellas are the most common items, but scarves and gloves increase in the winter. If the owner fails to recover the lost and found items, the finder can claim it after three months. I wonder how many items were recovered from the tree. I think it is a great idea!  

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

 

O Christmas Tree

 I like my little tree so I leave it up all year. Recently, I took all of the ornaments off and rearranged it.  I had made some additional ornaments and it was getting a little cluttered.  I had to put a few ornaments away, but I may trade them out later on.

A few close ups -- 

It's a simple little tree, stitched ornaments, no lights. Simple is good at this stage of my life.
