10 Comments on Harajuku and Shinjuku photowalk

Two weeks ago I joined a group leaded by Joi Ito and we spend the afternoon taking pictures around Harajuku and Shinjuku. I enjoyed a lot the experience, met new people and learned many photography tricks. Some of the people who attended were: Joi Ito, Fumi Yamazaki, Jim O’connell, Derek, Sean Bonner and Jim Grisanzio.

You can see all the pictures we made from this Flickr tag. In this post there are some of the pictures I took:

Elephant cage

Yesterday I was (trying) to read Asahi Shinbun and came into an article about a communications station from the United States army that is being demolished in Okinawa. It happens that this antenna cached my attention when I went to Okinawa, I took these pictures.

Okinawa

This big weird thing is in a village called Yomitan located near the west coast in the biggest island in Okinawa. The shape of the antenna and its size (You can appreciate it from the second picture) made some people to imagine that it looks like an “elephant cage” and that’s how local people call it. The place where the “elephant cage” is was conquered by the United States at the end of the war but two years ago it was returned to Japan. During the next months the antenna is gonna be demolished and the terrain will be returned to its original landlords (Not an easy job, you need to know who owned the land before the WWII).

Kasai Nana

Two weeks ago me and Danny promised Kasai Nana’s pictures, we are a little bit late but here you have the pics ^^. Today’s idol is Kasai Nana (華彩なな), she is 23, 156cm, 90-59-88 a her blood type is A. The information about the blood type is the most important for Japanese, they can know everything about her just knowing she is A 😉 .

Kasai has released 9 DVDs and many photo-books. This is Kasai Nana‘s blog, the wikipedia article and official website. Let’s see the pictures, of course there are more at Dannychoo’s site, check them out!.
