a fighting spirit Photo

Photographer’s Note

It is a mannequin with which the shop in Nakamise street in Asakusa is decorated.
The pot rolling written, "Fighting spirit" has been rolled in the head.
This spectacle looks strange for the Japanese.
The woman who put on the kimono is not doing such a pot rolling.

It is very odd even for me to see mannequins of westerners wearing Kimono. And the inclusion of the bandana around the woman's head adds to the curiousness of the image.
A great capture. I like being able to read the signs around the shop and on the mannequins, and the mannequins themselves are very interesting and odd.
Well done!

P.S If you could, tell me what it is that costs 300 yen?

Hello Horotoshi,

What do japanese people think about the omnipresence of gaijin in advertising, billboard and like in this photo, a store display? Japanese girls are so beautiful that they have a lot of choices to choose from instead of international models...

Anyway, this is an interesting photo of everyday life in Tokyo. Don’t forget to shoot all the blossoming trees that should arrive any day soon!

Ciao!
