Makes a nice change eh? And yes, that’s a good use of space. When you don’t have an actual garden, you have to utilise whatever you can, and they have really done that!
Yes, I remember those when I was in Tokyo years ago. Maybe you can take some photographs of particularly interesting ones – and yes, I realize that that is subjective 🙂
See them quite a lot, but rarely as colourful as these. That’s what made them interesting to me, along with the woman of course. Rest assured though, if I see others I like, they will definitely be photographed.
Damn those colours are vivid. Enhanced by a lovely smile to be sure, but still, a very fresh set of markings, with the chalk lines still intact.
One of the NHK shows I like asked a couple of random blokes in a roadside cafe if they could accompany them on their afternoons work – they agreed and they were road marking painters. The care and attention they applied to their task was so typically Japanese.
So what do those markings say? “Dancing prohibited” perhaps 🙂

Very cool. I really like all those colors! 🙂

They are really something, aren’t they? Freshly painted too, so they stood out even more.

Wow a nice cheerful lady instead of a grouchy old man!! Love the pot garden behind her too!

Fresh paint on wet tarmac really does stand out.
Yes, watching them work is fascinating. The skills they posses and the speed they do the characters is always a treat to see.
Now that would be something, but alas it’s rather more mundane. Near a school, so instructing cars not to drive there.
