Tokyo checks and balances

Seeing these two ladies strolling down the street in their matching outfits and similar luggage set up was a lovely, wholly unexpected little treat. A moment that for me at least was further added to by the addition of that awkwardly formal stance many older Japanese adopt when stood in front of a camera.

      They were quite the sight that’s for sure. A lovely surprise.

    A lovely find. Despite the formal pose the photograph suggests a positive and friendly interaction.
    The same but different. Sisters perhaps. Was there a bathhouse nearby I wonder.

      Yes, it was. Didn’t expect them to pose at all, but they weren’t the least bit averse to it.

      That’s a good question. Not sure to be honest. But they were quickly on their way.

    Great moments! One is wearing a hat but the other is not. And their shoes are different.

    Thanks!

      Cheers. Yes, those little differences made it for me. The same, but not exactly the same.
