Tokyo is a city of contrasts, which this scene amply demonstrates, and yet despite the obvious differences, there also turned out to be some nice visual coincidences to connect them.

Oh there is so much for me to enjoy with this one! 🙂
Lee says
Thank you. Was definitely nice to turn the corner and see them heading in our direction.
Denise says
Thank you for sharing this. Their matching kimono are beautiful.
Lee says
You are very welcome, and yeah, seeing someone in a kimono is always a treat no matter how many times you’ve seen one (or two).
Giovanni Piliarvu says
ohhhh…. I wish I were there to take this one! WAIT!! I was! (^ ^)
Lee says
Haha, we timed that very nicely eh?
john says
Through no fault of their designing
instep along the windings
of these metalled ways.
Lee says
Very nicely done. Cheers. A lovely accompaniment to the photo.
john says
If your lens had stopped at the third cone on the right, I would have only had the echoes of the ‘old school Tokyo record shop’ from your last post, and “We are the Group F-1”.
Lee says
The unexpected merits of a little bit of extra metal.

I love their cheerful demeanour, visible even through their masks.
I also enjoy the trails trying to track down your locations lead me along.
Today I came across the wonderfully named Pony Cleaning establishment.
And the even better review of it “The tie was lost normally. It is dangerous.”
Which led me to the revelation it wasn’t a sento for diminutive equines at all. Oh well.
Lee says
Yeah, they were very clearly having a lovely day out.
Ah, some of the more interesting business names are best left uninvestigated. A long line of ponies waiting patiently for their daily bath really would be something.
john says
or even a guy on a Honda cub/bicycle laden with pony preening paraphernalia.
Lee says
That’s the kind of moment dreams are made of.
Scruffy says
Do kimono clad gals always gad about in twos? These 2 remind me of another kimono ladies photo of yours from a few months back. They weren’t wearing masks that day.
Lee says
It does seem to be a thing of late. A fun day out I guess, getting dressed up and all that. Masks are very much still the norm though. Likely going to be that way for a long time as well…
