A mere mannequin it may be, but there’s something amazingly melancholy.
Downright depressing even.
About this strangely unsettling scarecrow silently going about his business in solitude.
Amazingly melancholy mannequin
Odd
Somewhat excessive cycling safety?
Presumably it’s due to Tokyo’s busy roads and pedestrian packed pavements, but when cycling around the city, it would seem that one really can’t be too careful.
Minuscule motor car
Electric cars are all well and good, and Nissan’s upcoming Leaf will surely sell, but with their constant need for recharges, and a current lack of locations to supply them, ecology could seriously curtail convenience.
However, by considerably reducing the size of the car, battery usage it seems can be substantially shrunk, with this minuscule little motor rumoured to be able to carry one around town on only a couple of AAs.
Tokyo headhunter?
Just like everywhere else in the world, times are tough in Tokyo, and as such, some people are prepared to do anything to, ahem,
get ahead.
Mannequin make-up
Quite why I find mannequin scarecrows so mesmerising I don’t know. Maybe it’s due to the sadness they somehow exude. Or that sometimes they are simply sinister. Although more than likely it’s probably down to the strangely fascinating care the farmers take in regards their fashion.
Even if, when it comes to cosmetics, they are more than a little carefree.
