Some mannequins, somehow, appear more than a little melancholy, but despite being a bit dirty and somewhat dishevelled, this fella, with his slightly shaded seat and sun hat,

looks largely content with his lot in life.

A mere mannequin it may be, but there’s something amazingly melancholy.

Downright depressing even.

About this strangely unsettling scarecrow silently going about his business in solitude.

Presumably it’s due to Tokyo’s busy roads and pedestrian packed pavements, but when cycling around the city, it would seem that one really can’t be too careful.

Electric cars are all well and good, and Nissan’s upcoming Leaf will surely sell, but with their constant need for recharges, and a current lack of locations to supply them, ecology could seriously curtail convenience.
However, by considerably reducing the size of the car, battery usage it seems can be substantially shrunk, with this minuscule little motor rumoured to be able to carry one around town on only a couple of AAs.

Just like everywhere else in the world, times are tough in Tokyo, and as such, some people are prepared to do anything to, ahem,

get ahead.
