I was just coming around a corner and I nearly bumped into this fiercely looking riksha driver. I looked up and saw those two girls wearing kimono, and I thought that this is one of those photos I came to Kamkura for. This is my reward for getting up at 3 am on a rainy Sunday morning. I asked them if they would like a picture and they happily agreed. I love this photo so much. The contrast between what is very feminine and delicate, and the masculine warrior-like face expression of the riksha driver is fantastic. Then we have nature as a background and a fragment of an old wooden structure. This is the Japan you want to see when you come here. This is the Japan I hope will not get lost in the rush of every day life that we lead. I am waiting for a mail from the girls to send them the photo. I hope they will like it as much as I do.
Although Japan is known for its technology, robotics, anime, minaturalisation, and so on, the old traditions live on, and are not only cultivated by the older generation. I was on my way to one of the Zen temples of Kamakura, and since I hate crowds, I sticked to the narrow abandoned streets where no one goes to, as there are no stores there. But those streets are full of secrets, and events that could be so easily missed.
