About Toshizo Hijikata was a man who served Japan's traditional ruler in the days before the Emperor Meiji was restored to power. He and Isamu Kondo led a company of men, often of humble origins, who fought on the losing side. This statue is in the grounds of our famous local shrine. I thought sepia suited the subject... (This is a closeup cropped from the much larger version I uploaded earlier and had second thoughts about.)

Sepia certainly does su9it this, Roger.
You have posted over a dozen shots since I have had a chance to look and my next couple of days are going to be quite busy--little or no computer time. So, I can't comment on as many of your shots as I would like.

I was a bit concerned that some people might take him as a rather fierce woman with those skirts. They're actually no more feminine than the Scotsmen who wear kilts, which is not at all! LOL

I see it now, Roger!
He was obviously 'foot free and fancy loose'! )
Best regards, Chris

When I get to work tomorrow, Christ, I'll post a smaller version of the full frame (which I briefly posted but dcided to "pull" because of the first comment...). There really are no more feet than I've shown here. Maybe I should have included the plinth...

No feet, Chris, only the plinth on which the statue stood.

There's a sort of fascinating symmetry to this. Straightforward. No nonsense. Maybe your impression of how this character really was. I also second Chris's comments about the lack of feet showing.

In other news, I received the 50mm finder for my T yesterday. Now, I am waiting for the lens . . . a 50/1.5 Summarit, which I have always liked. It is not considered an outstanding Leitz lens by most experts.

Good detail, Roger, but given it's a crop from a larger shot I'm not sure why you took his feet off and left the space above his head!
Best regards, Chris
