Ojisousan Takaosan

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 22 November 2006 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

This photo is of Ojisosan on the top of a mountain in Japan. The Mountain is located to the west of Tokyo and is an easy day trip if you are ever in Tokyo. I was lucky to get this shot without any people as many people are usually saying their prayers and placing a coin at each Ojisosan. Each Ojisosan has a diffent face which made it quite interesting to look at.
