Construction



This is what a typical construction site looks like in Japan. There are anywhere from 1~4 of those men in blue hanging around keeping pedestrians safe.

The Mask



Now that it is spring, I will be seeing many more people with these masks.

Down Kokubuncho



This street always pulls me in. I really like the lines of perspective made by the banners a little above the peoples' heads.

I was out walking through the new and renovated Kokubuncho the other night and I saw this scene through the window.

The Cigarette Shoppe

DSC_9577

In the back alleys of Kokubuncho where all action happens at night, there are many side businesses to accompany the bar and nightlife businesses.

There are grocery stores for restaurants and bars just in case they run out of something. There are flower shops so people can buy their favorite hostess a bouquet. And there are tobacco shops that have windows full of cigarettes like this one.

In the last ten years, cigarette prices have doubled.
