Taken at Abercrombie and Fitch in Ginza. Any ideas what it is?

Oji Station, Japan

The Train

Is it rude to take picture of people on the train? Probably. But the odd combination of people that get grouped together on the train never cases to amaze me.

Moments before I took this picture the women with the book was glaring at girl who was shamelessly putting on her make-up. The lady with the scarf was hard asleep and the guy was staring off into the same general direction.

The Coming of Age Day holiday is held the second Monday in January every year. The holiday is held to welcome everyone whose 20th birthday falls between April 2 of the previous year and April 1 of the current year old into adulthood. How did I stumble upon this? Well in typical Joseph fashion I was wandering around, saw something odd and decided to take a closer look.

This particular Coming of Age Ceremony was held by the city I live in. By and far the girls dressed up in kimono's, while the boys wore suits. There really was no ceremony per say, just a a bunch of new adults talking to their friends.
