Tokyo Times slight summer slowdown

Summer is well and truly here in Tokyo. The sun is high, as is the humidity, which means only one thing: time to leave for a little while.

However, that’s not to say my absence means there won’t be any new photographs here, because there will — just less that’s all. So, for the next month, there’ll only be a couple of posts a week. On Mondays and Thursdays. Just enough to keep things ticking along nicely until my return.

And with that I shall be off. First heading into the dark underbelly of Tokyo, and then on to the rather more bulging one of Britain.

Relaxing with a hazy summer view of Rainbow Bridge

The breeze coming in from Tokyo Bay wasn’t very strong. In fact it wasn’t very cool either. But the hazy view of Rainbow Bridge and the distinctive Fuji TV Building, clearly made it a decent enough spot to while away a little time.

Japanese festival participant: a portrait

Japanese festivals are fascinating for many reasons, but especially intriguing are the participants. Men and women who one way or another don’t quite fit with the common image of the average salaried worker.

Something that is very much the case with this fella. A man meticulously turned out, and definitely not to be messed with.

Yoshiro Nakamatsu (Dr. NakaMats) on the campaign trail in Tokyo

Japan’s upper house election on July 21st means more noise pollution, and more repetition of potential candidates names. Now and again maybe even the odd nod towards policy too.

Plus it also means Yoshiro Nakamatsu (Dr. NakaMats). Serial inventor. Some would say serial liar. And something that’s not disputable, serial political candidate — this time for the Happiness Realization Party. A wish that certainly won’t be realised, but if the faces of those watching him were anything to go by, it will at least bring about a bit of happiness.
