Due to their chosen line of work, it’s apt that Japanese scarecrows are somewhat on the sinister side.
Sometimes even going as far as disturbing.
But times change it would seem, even if their job title doesn’t. And with cycling clearly now a thing.
There are hints at what could be described as serenity. Possibly even joy.

Very slick adding the bicycle. Makes it look more like a real person! Except for the still being totally stationary part. 😉 Kudos for creativity, though!
Lee says
Yeah, that’s what always impresses me. They really do put a lot of effort into it. Different every year. And with bicycles this time, who knows what we’ll be treated to next time!

Those Japanese scarecrows are creative and indeed scary Lee, its remind me of old Japanese Horror Movie 😀
Lee says
They really are aren’t they? Very strange things close up…
And yeah, I know what you mean. Even more so if I went back at night. But I won’t be doing that!
Ri says
Do you know why they make them so realistic-looking in Japan? I’m assuming they don’t need so much detail to benefit the birdsーis it more to benefit other onlookers?
Lee says
That’s a very good question. Perhaps Japan’s crows are even smarter than we already suspect, hence the need for super realistic scarecrows!
