Finger puppets in Tokyo’s Yanaka
The details in these displays in the window of Shokichi can keep me staring for long periods of time. Head on in for a puppet show.

I love the finger puppets you can find in Yanaka at a place called Shokichi. The faces have such great expressions. The half hour show is fun too, especially if you can understand Japanese.
For the remainder of the day, on both occasions that I have visited this place, Japanese people that I see look more like puppets than real people.
