A guffaw of Japanese grannies?

Presumably there isn’t a collective noun for laughing Japanese grannies, but guffaw seems like the perfect fit for these four ladies.

happy and laughing old Japanese ladies in Tokyo

    Looks like a lovely neighborhood.
    Were you particularly close or did you crop in?:)

      It is. One of the old areas I do some of my photowalks. Lots of lovely people there.

      Nah, no crop. Don’t usually to be honest, and even when I do, it’s generally only a tiny bit. Plus these ladies were very easy to approach and get near too!

      Glad to hear it. They were a very friendly little gang. Made my day too!

    What an absolutely wonderful photograph.
    Perhaps their reaction will make you think twice before wearing those shorts again 🙂

      Thank you. So nice when you have subjects as interesting and lovely as these.

      Haha, their reactions would have probably been the same if I hadn’t been wearing any shorts!

    Great photo and love the idea of the choice of collective noun for the grannies! 🙂
