(Not quite so) sinister Japanese scarecrows

Despite the previously posted mannequin-based scarecrows being suitably sinister, not all of them it seems are quite so unsettling.

But whilst they still aren’t exactly what one would want to stumble across in the semi-darkness, this lady at least is more sombre than scary.

And, rather strangely, with his bouffant and brown blouse, this relatively new kid on the block wouldn’t look all that out of place in an 80s/90s boy band.

Although, as a new edition, he can’t really take that to heart, as he’s not yet in synch with the rest of the rabble.

    Around Sendai, the kakashi don’t usually have faces.

    Sad to see the descend from glamorous shop window mannequins to mannequin based scarecrows…
