Japan Images: Takeshita Maid

September 1st, 2011

There’s always plenty going on along the famous Takeshita-dori in Harajuku, Tokyo. An endless sea of people flood the narrow streets with everyone from lost 70-year-old American tourists to Nigerian salesmen through to the most eclectically dressed Japanese twenty-somethings. Everyone is there for the same reason – it is a truly unique experience. Make sure you drop by on your next trip to Tokyo ^^

I love the contrast in this shot with the bright blue in the background and her pink and ginger hair and costume. The little figurine hanging from her nail helps too – what a great look.

I shot this a little while ago and thought it might interest anyone wanting to see the area around Takeshita-dori, JR Harajuku Station as well as Jingu Bridge where you’ll find the cosplay girls (and boys) every weekend. Unfortunately it was an average day weather-wise so there wasn’t a lot to see on Jingu Bridge but you still get a sense of the area and there will be some surprises left for you if you ever get to Tokyo ^_^

Japan Images: Harajuku Contact High

I shot this in the area around JR Harajuku station on a busy Sunday. These contact lenses still freak me out. I wonder what they look like from the inside out?

Japan Images: Harajuku Maid

March 4th, 2010

It was a busy Sunday afternoon on Jingu Bridge in Harajuku, Tokyo. This girl kept herself fairly separate from the others and spent a countless amount of time carefully preening every inch of herself. She looked stunning with the ginger hair against her fair complexion.
