It’s not at all uncommon to see people publicly perfecting songs in Tokyo’s parks and open spaces, with the likes of violins, flutes and even keyboards regularly visible.
Somewhat rarer, on the other hand, is someone so dedicated to their art that they are prepared to do the same with a far from portable double bass. The sight of which was not only surprisingly, but really quite surreal.

Wonderful!!

Thank you!
Linda Puetter says
What an amazing shot. The girl with the umbrella in the background makes it so surreal and almost like an old painting. Well done!
Lee says
Cheers Linda. I saw the lady with the umbrella, but there were also a few other people walking past, then at the last moment she was on her own, and luckily I just about got the shot away.
Lizzy says
That thing’s as big as he is!! 😀 How did he sound?
Lee says
I know, that’s real dedication! He sounded good, but, in such a large space, very quiet.

Perfect placement of the bass player in combination with the lady with the umbrella. What a surreal thing to come across!
Lee says
Thanks a lot! Yes, it was a wonderfully surreal sight to come across. Totally made my day.
KenC says
Is that a double bass or is he very small and it’s really a cello?
Lee says
Now that would have been surreal!
winnie says
It’s really surreal sight! Love this Picture. 🙂
He must be enjoying playing his double bass.
Lee says
It’s quickly become one of my favourites, and yes, he seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself!

I am genuinely touched! thanks for bringing us this 🙂
Lee says
Not at all. He made for a great sight, and luckily I could get a photograph of him. Sadly never seen him since.
