Japan Images: Asakusa Bag Lady
Friday, March 12th, 2010
Asakusa is full of contradictions – run down and filthy in places and yet home to the futuristic Philippe Starck-designed Asahi headquarters.
It’s also home to the stunning Senso-ji temple and surrounding shrines but Tokyo’s oldest geisha district lurks just around the corner.
This lady was at the top of the stairs leaving the railway station on our very first visit to Asakusa and quickly helped to set the scene in what has become one of my favourite areas in Tokyo.
