     In suburbs across Japan, homes filled to the rafters with hoarded junk are common enough to have an ironic idiom: #gomi-#yashiki (trash-mansions).

     And in areas where space is limited, cluttered residences and shops will often erupt, disgorging things onto the street in a semi-controlled jumble so ubiquitous that urban planners have a name for it:
     #afuré-#dashi (spilling-outs).

     This is an ecstatic, emergent complexity, born less from planning than from organic growth, from the inevitable chaos of lives being lived.
