Daibutsu, Kamakura
Daibutsu in Kamakura, June 2010. There were thousands of school kids visiting that day. It was still great fun.

Please be careful when handling a wet unbrella



Do not use your umbrella like a piston.

It actually looks like he is attacking those people. It's a special umbrella that shoots out little pellets like a shotgun.

Or maybe he is defending himself. He is rapidly opening and closing the umbrella like a piston as he forces those would-be attackers back.

Or maybe his automatic umbrella is malfunctioning and it opened accidentally by itself.

What do you think?

  4. His name is Bunpei Yorifuji. You can see a Japan Times article about him here:

  5. I think the guy is defending himself. Those people at the bottom of the poster look ominous.

  6. I think so too. Look at their eyes. They look like the walking dead. They appear to be zombies looking for blood.

  8. There is an umbrella that has a samurai sword handle. That would be a good one to have against those zpmbie monsters also.
