About This little family of show-window dummies faces the platform just behind commuters waiting for their trains into the center of Tokyo. This is a fisheye shot from which most, but not all, of the disturbing curved distortion has been removed. While the wife and children wear traditional kimono (little boys almost NEVER wear them) it is interesting that they show the young father in Western dress. The kimono is definitely becoming wear for women and children.

Thank you Jessie, and I am honoured that you chose me as a "friend." I thought the young woman in black (a real human being) made a nice foil for the row of elegant dummies behind her, especially as one of them was a man in black. I don't normally ask, as the Japanese usually don't mind being photographed. She didn't notice me (being too busy with her mobile phone) but if she had, I would have bowed, explained my intention in my most polite Japanese, and then showed her the picture. This is possible now I have a DSLR! If she had objected I would have deleted it on the spot, of course.

ah, they are so beautiful. it is nice to see that they are becoming more wearable. i like the modern young woman standing in front, too!

in shots like this one, do you ask them if they mind having their picture taken?

Great use of the fisheye...at last a shot that represents what a fisheye should show...enough distortion but with no over distortion...well done for that, Roger

Nice shot. I like how the male dummy the waiting passenger are both wearing western dark clothing. Very pleasing composition. :) Andree

You can contact me at chiefs_4_life@yahoo.com if you would ever like to talk about life in Japan, I moved back last year so most of my shots online here are from my time in Japan. Are you doing profesional photography over there?

My office was in Ikebukuro for years, so I know that area fairly well.

Hi, Chad. It's Seiseki Sakuragaoka on the Keio line out to Hachioji. Do you know that part of Tokyo?
