is it still mandatory to wear masks outside in Japan?

Mask wearing was never mandatory in Japan at any point. Official guidance from the government is you do not need to wear a mask outdoors when you are approximately 2 meters apart from others, or when you are not talking at a distance of less than 2 meters. In practice 90% of people still wear a mask at all times in public except when eating or drinking. I am seeing a larger uptick in bare faces with all the tourists coming back but it is pretty rare to see Japanese with no masks. This is all in Tokyo, I hear Osaka is much more relaxed.  

This was my fathers watch when he was a naval aviator in the 70s and 80s. It has been sitting in a drawer broken for the last 25 years and I finally convinced him to let me have it. Found a shop not to far from where I live that seemed confidant that they could fix it and it seems like they did a good job. I kept most of the wear and tear because I like the look of a worn watch. Need to find a proper bracelet and maybe replace the crystal at some point but I am happy that this is finally working again.

Damn this is cool. I can't get used to wearing a sling bag with anything that has a placket. How do you feel about it? I just feel like the two sides of the coat get so bunched up and uncomfortable, but maybe I'm just persnickety. Like something about the sling being a full circle around me, but the coat not being a complete circle. Am I just OCD? 

It's not so bad with the ring cost because it is so voluminous anyways. It kind of help hold the coat closed when I don't want to bother rearranging the buttons and ties. Either way I need a bag, no car so when I go out I need to carry all my crap with me. A bag helps with this
