  1. Just read a few pages tonight.
    All I can say is: Dazai was a deeply self-destructive man, immersed in chaos that dragged others into a miserable end…
    Not sure how his story will end.

    Osamu Dazai's classic book "No Longer Human" (人間失格) [Japan, 1948]

    This #retroarcade project has been a long time coming. I can't express the sheer depth of research and interpersonal connections that were required to even BEGIN to assemble this. Almost none of these photos or machines (their names even, forget photos or companies) were available online 1.5 years ago when this project started.
