After his business went bang at the end of the bubble, this fella has become what countless millions of other Japanese men are — a salaryman. But, while he now takes orders and dons the de rigueur suit and tie, the glasses betray the far more free-spirited person within.
Martin says
Nice shot. He looks pretty happy in his wild glasses. Did you talk to him to get his story?
Lee says
Cheers.
I did. Not somehing I normally do, but it made for an interesting chat. An incredible character. The glasses are a real match for his personality!
Mauro says
Not to mention the necktie 😀
Lee says
Yes. Perfectly!
Lizzy says
I really like this guy right off the bat. Seems he has an incredible attitude that shows through his expression. Great shot and amazing sunglasses! 😀
Lee says
Cheers.
Yeah, as soon as I saw his glasses I desperately wanted to take his photo. A real character — both in appearance and personality.

Lee says
