Japan Images: Keitai Harajuku Girl
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
I first caught a glimpse of this girl with the amazing white hair from a distance walking down Takeshita Dori (竹下通り) but I eventually lost her in the crowd.
When I when made my way around to Jingu Bridge just outside of JR Harajuku train station (原宿駅), she was there with a few friends and making a call on her mobile, which made for a great shot (I hope ^_^).
Mobile or cell phones are known as keitai denwa (携帯電話) in Japan and called keitai for short.
Jingu Bridge, Harajuku
I wonder how long it takes her to look like that?
Whoa, crazy look! Very interesting, did she notice you taking the shot?
^_^ Yeh good point – I’d bet quite a while
woah!she looks like some anime character.wonder how she managed to get that color, must be tedious.
I love keitai!:D
Another nice slice of life from Tokyo. I haven’t been to Harajuku on a Sunday for a while, always a lot of the same old faces (especially the photographers), but there are always a few new people to see.
Definitely best to leave a few months between visits otherwise you do run in to that issue. I’ve only been a few times but always come away with something I like.
Wowww.. Her hair is amazing! It almost looks like a wig!
