Photographs of partially covered and patched up buildings aren’t uncommon on these pages, so for a bit of a change, here’s a partially covered and patched up Tokyo pedestrian instead.

I’m kinda disappointed he wasn’t wearing headphones! 😉
He is. Very smart. It has always surprised me how many people you see with eye patches in Tokyo. They are hardly everywhere of course, but at the same time far from out of the ordinary. I have been told that ingrowing eyelashes can be a big problem for many Japanese, so that would perhaps explain it.

Haha, now that would have been something!

The buildings may often have a little added shrubbery but they rarely seem to be patched up and spruced up.
Lee says
That is very true. Patched up, but immaculately so.

At least he is well dressed and nicely groomed. Hopefully, he is on the road to recovery from whatever happened to his eye.
