A bit of Tokyo shopping as it once was, and in a surprising number of instances, actually still is.
Martin B says
Is it just me or does he look a little guilty about something?
Lee says
He does a bit, doesn’t he? The number of pensioners caught shoplifting in Japan has risen enormously of late, so perhaps his backpack is full of pilfered sweets!
Hans ter Horst says
Love these places, no idea how they survive!
Lee says
I know. My only guess is they own the place, so no rent or such to pay. Can’t see how else they could survive on the few customers (if any) they have.
Tom says
Great expression on the old guy. There’s a real boyish quality about him. Nicely done!
Lee says
Cheers! Yes, I think it’s the backpack and hat. Not too dissimilar to what an elementary school kid might wear.
