In a land where kawaii is unquestionably king, it sort of makes sense that normally bland roadside barriers should be given that all important cute conversion.
And, as a bit of a bonus, the inclusion of a cheeky little wink for added chirpiness.
Cute as a button barriers
Maria says
wink takes it off!!!
Andy says
Sinister frogs with enormously long knobs.
Lee says
Ahh, hence the cheeky wink!

In Sapporo, we have the cute rabbits these days…hehe, I will always remember when I landed at sapporo’s airport and saw those rabbits next to the runway on the ramp, it really meant to me : “welcome to Japan”.
Keep up to good work with your camera.
Lee says
Cheers Jero!
Never seen the rabbit version. A Hokkaido thing perhaps?
Diane says
Oh my goodness!
You probably get this already, but I must say, don’t stop capturing these wonderful pictures and sharing online. They are so beautiful!
I have been going page by page on this sight admiring Japan.
Lol, I cried too! And I’m not a crier. Only because, as a child, it has been my dream to live there.
^^
Arigatou gozaimasu!
Lee says
Thank you very much Diane. You are more than welcome. And it’s great to hear you enjoy my pictures so much. Very kind of you to say so too!
Ricky says
Awsome pic!
Im a photographer myself (beginner) and i’d love to know what lens you used for this photo. The short depth of field and the bokeh is lovely!
Cheers.
Lee says
Cheers Ricky!
I used the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 for these pictures. My favourite lens.
