Photographs from a small group of islands
Despite the obvious care taken beforehand, a couple of drinks too many transformed this Tokyo transvestite’s evening into a considerably more unladylike conclusion.
And shot from a different — although admittedly rather dubious — angle, it’s an even less ladylike end. The NSFW result of which can be seen here.
The heat, and particularly the humidity of summer in Tokyo is difficult to deal with — it’s exhausting, basically. A daily struggle that for the city’s ever-growing number of older residents, must be even tougher.
Tokyo’s varied selection of old, basic bars and eateries are well documented on Tokyo Times. But, when the weather gets warmer, those wonderfully no-nonsense characteristics are carried out on to the street. Meaning the same cheap and cheerful food. The same clutter and grime. And perhaps most importantly of all, the same fantastically relaxed atmosphere.
To many people, pigeons are nothing but pests. But not for this young woman. Instead, they are creatures to be cared for and fed leftover bar snacks.
Some days are most definitely better than others.
