Confrontation isn’t a common Japanese trait, and considering the population of Tokyo and its seemingly incessant crowds, that’s almost certainly a good thing. But that’s not to say it’s a city of peace and zen-like harmony, because it’s not — not by any stretch of the imagination. Anger and frustration often simmer gently just below the surface, and now and again — despite the acute embarrassment of some — they quite understandably boil over.

Love the two ladies’ expressions.
Did yon run away quickly after taking this shot lol?
Lee says
Yeah, it was those two that made it for me, especially the woman on the left — she looks mortified!
Pretty much. I took the shot and carried on walking. They certainly didn’t need me hanging around.
Jamie_O says
Great expression on the left woman!! What were they arguing about?
Lee says
Yeah, she wasn’t happy at all, was she?
No idea to be honest. I quickly took the photo and then carried on walking.
Jeffrey says
Let me guess: the guy in the pinstripes did not like the guy’s faux admiral’s cap worn with an animal print shirt?
Lee says
Quite possibly! Perhaps not bad enough to warrant a heated exchange, but most certainly worthy of a quiet word or two.
