    How do you get all these people to dress in such perfect colors for your photos? ๐Ÿ™‚

      I suppose there is that element about him, isnโ€™t there? Or at least his coat and cigarette have that element anyway!

    A nice collection of triangle and cables in the top left, and the sign support just has to be aligned with his cigarette. Was that a whole packet of/or luck?

    It comes as a bit of a (culture) shock every time I visit Japan to find how smoking cigarettes still seem to be very much an accepted thing there. To be honest, I’m not so against smoking outdoors but smoking in not only bars but breakfast places and sushi restaurants threatens to drive me nuts!

      Yeah, itโ€™s certainly still accepted more than it is in many other countries. It is changing though, albeit slowly. Even some little mom and pop shops now have no smoking signs.
