The much photographed and staple of the foreign media, Shibuya Crossing, is a seething mass of fashionably attired humanity. A place where the rush and push and the land leaves little time for culture, let alone contemplation.
But this lady at least offered a bit of tradition, and perhaps even more importantly, some poise.
Linette says
Nice. Amazing how you see things most people just walk by, as everyone is doing in the picture.
Lee says
Thanks Linette!
Roger says
Shibuya crossing is an iconic image, usually from above.
This makes it personal!
Lee says
Yeah, it looks interesting from above, but it’s far more fascinating at street level.

she is lost
Lee says
It was strange. In some ways she looked completely out of place, and yet in others, completely at home.
Jaska says
So you’re saying she’s got a fair deal of confidence in herself?
Lee says
Nah, not really. Kimonos are fairly commonplace, but in Shibuya, amidst all the modern fashion, they offer a fascinating contrast.
