Photographs from a small group of islands
There are numerous photographs of Japanese scarecrows on this site. Some of them are really quite disturbing. Whereas others are downright wrong. But this one is arguably something else altogether, as it almost seems sentient.
With its busy trains and traffic-congested roads, Tokyo is a great city to navigate by bike; the side streets, sights and a real sense of freedom making even a commute something to relish rather than recoil from.
And if said bike also doubles as a workshop and therefore one’s workplace, it must be even more wonderful.
Dogs being carried is a common sight in Tokyo. Balancing on the back of scooters, however, isn’t. And even more unusual is one that looks as nonchalant as this unquestionably cool little canine.
It would be very harsh indeed to describe all Japanese police officers as dummies; after all, they are very good at giving directions.
Some of them, however, are.
Quite literally.
When out and about in their work gear, office staff and the like are lucky in that they can simply blend in, allowing them to go for a few post-work beers or do a bit of shopping without garnering even a second glance.
Wrestlers, on the other hand, really don’t have it so easy. Like the poor fella below for example. The hat is a lovely touch, and the backpack could well be perfect for carrying his cape, but he’s still not exactly what you’d call inconspicuous.
