The Boxer of Narashino, by Knock Out
I was enjoying my stroll on the way to bus stop. Stopping and clicking with my camera whenever the urge hit me. A shot of something fallen over in a window display, some golden kanji painted on the door of a barbershop.
I noticed out of the corner of my eye an old man with a bright red shirt, kind of checking me out. I haven’t always had the best of luck with older Japanese men on the street in Japan before, so I was on my guard.
But, this time was different. He wanted to me to take his picture. He stuck this boxing pose and I snapped it with my ricoh.
He then chatted me up for a minute telling me where are the best spots to shoot Mt. Fuji. He also mentioned that there are elaborate paintings of Mt. Fuji at the Sento (Public Bath House). Which I already knew.
It turned out to be a nice little chat, and he shook my hand when we went our separate ways.
Knocked out!!
