Postcards From Kamakura 2
Kamakura as an odd place.
The oddest bit is the beach front.
Starting with the signage warning of eagles taking your small dog if you are not watchful (looking skyward revealed several sizeable predators “play” fighting), to pushbikes and mopeds toting long boards in custom side brackets. The strip is channelling Hawaii, the Riviera and in patches, even Tasmania.
This one is is on the short list. The irony, contradiction and purely Japanese feel of the image combined with near perfect figure placement are working for me. Interestingly, I remember taking it eight years ago and being excited at the time, but it failed to catch my eye after.
The strip is channelling Hawaii, the Riviera and in patches, even southern Victoria or Tasmania.
Tsunami shelter, life guard station or toilet block?
From the beach, you then head back into town.
