Photographer's Note

150~300 years ago we were like them, this is a typical and traditional civil servant uniform.

Hi Takero san

Not only your shot is a fine portrait but also your note gives insights in Japanese traditions. I like the expression on the face of the man, it is such a nice candid shot. Well done

Warm regards

This is a super post Takero. The venerable elderly gentleman looks as if he would have been a very competent civil servant and would have brooked no nonsense! The 'uniform' has the effect of giving the wearer a serious demeanor and look of efficiency, very smart! Excellent shot. Warm regards Rosemary

Belle soirée

Ciao Takero
il soggetto era quasi perfetto, peccato l'orologio, ma non è certo colpa tua, tu hai fatto un bellissimo scatto. La tradizione continua e tu sei sempre pronto a testimoniarla.
Saluti

Fascinating look into Japan's past here, Takero, and on the face of this serene gentleman who is modeling this outfit. I assume the designer watch, however, was not standard issue for civil servants centuries ago, however!

Thanks,
Andrew
