Japan is a country of contrasts, where tradition is mixed with old and sometimes bizarre things out of the ordinary modern life.
After seeing this photo shoot you will realize what I mean here. Enjoy it.

Watermelon auctioned for $6,100 in Japan

A black jumbo watermelon auctioned in northern Japan fetched a record $6,100 Friday, making it the most expensive watermelon ever sold in the country — and possibly the world.

The 17-pound premium “Densuke” watermelon, grown only on the northern island of Hokkaido, was purchased by a marine products dealer who said he wanted to support local agriculture, according to Kyodo News agency.

In a country where melons are a luxury item commonly given as gifts, the watermelon’s hefty price tag follows another jaw-dropping auction last month, where a pair of “Yubari” cantaloupe melons sold for a record $23,500.

The first 4 pictures belongs to the “Tenryuji” temple located in Kyoto Japan.
The guy in the picture number 5 and 6 was walking all day around Osaka, first I met him near Horie, (north side of Osaka, close to Osaka station.) May be after 5 hours I met him again at Namba (is about 10 km from Osaka Station.) to the south. More than 8 millon people live in Osaka. Interesting isn’t?

These are pictures that definitely represent Japan, lifestyle and culture, of course there are thousands more but for now I’ve only been able to compile this series.
