Japanese Craftsman

I shot this in the Asakusa district of Tokyo, home to many shrines and temples. This gentleman was making wood cutouts and carvings and selling them (apparently) to make his living. I struggled to get the settings on my camera correct, so you can see a vaguely irritated look on his face because he waited for me to take the shot. I made sure to say "sumaimasen" (please excuse me) as he waited, and "doomo arrigato" (thank you very much) when I finished. I also bought one of his cutouts, which smoothed things over.

Another photo tomorrow...
