A Japan Photo per Day

The Knitting Ram from Ueno

Aug 7, 2010 | 36 feedbacks »

On the elevated walkway in front of the Ueno Station, there are several displays featuring various micro-expositions, like Japanese fans, miniatures of Samurai helmets (kabuto) or glass sculptures… Usually, people just pass by these displays, but the latest one managed to constantly attract attention. Even as I was taking this photo, a lot of people stopped by to admire and take pictures of this… :)
