No Toy Story-like happy ending for this forlorn looking fella. Instead, he’s just been unceremoniously stuffed into a bin bag and declared burnable.

Tokyo Times is owned and run by me, Lee Chapman, a long-term resident of Tokyo who arrived in 1998 for ‘a year or two’, and, for a myriad of reasons, stayed put.
Japan means many things to many people, but Tokyo Times is how I see it. The places. The people. The day-to-day situations. All of it shot using a Leica, a Nikon and a selection of lenses.
My photographs have appeared in the Guardian and Japan Times, plus numerous magazines and books. Should you wish to use any, or simply ask a question, you can get in touch with me here.

Oh, wow, that is such an incredible sight. My feelings don’t even know where to go with such an image. That is not only the find but also the photo of the week…
Cheers. Yeah, it certainly stopped me in my tracks. Not an everyday sight that’s for sure.
Why do you do this to us, Lee?
So you can appreciate the happier things in life even more!
Burnable indeed. Maybe they could use it to generate electricity.. “teddy power” or perhaps “Pooh power”… he he…
Pooh power sounds likes the perfect answer to the search for green/renewable energy.
Just too sad. Still, in my interpretation: Teddy was put out together with the burnables but the garbage men decided it wasn’t his time yet and left him.
Yes, it does seem that teddy lives to fight another day. But at the same time I fear the simple switch to an unburnable bag will seal his fate for good…
Aw
This one is even more sad than the abandoned Charmmy Kitty.
Yeah, much sadder…
So sad T_T
Yeah, not the jolliest of sights that’s for sure.
