So how was Tokyo? Very nice as I said before :)
Well but as you are a picture hungry bunch of people let me show you some pics I shot!
Yes I know.. toooo late.. Well still, did Tokyo change from the day I went there till today? probably! probably not ;D
As a Sri Lankan guy I know would say: "perhaps" mm..
This is TOKYO! For me at least :)
The Shop in which these "Tokyo Ningyo"s were displayed was selling Kimono tissue as you can see from the first picutre. The Salesman was kind enough to let me take some shots! And I was wowed by the beauty of the shop, the tissues and naturally these puppets.. Which I definetely like far more then the "KyouNingyo".
The colours are a little old but still vivid, and the faces look very happy and relaxed. Very interesting is also the hair colour which is blond for some puppets. The puppets look like set in Edo period, when you take a look at the Maiko in the far left it is very obvious that we are in Edo period.
To be honest I am totally wowed by this wonderful shop as I love old Japanese culture, and I am planning to visit it again!
