\"Pico Iyer once said: \"travel can be a fine way to learn humility and how much you don't know\" and, he couldn\u2019t have been more right, especially when you travel to Japan. This country is bursting with unique and wonderful traditions, many borne from a combination of Buddhist and Shinto influences. The big cities like Tokyo and Osaka also have a dizzying variety of countercultures, ranging from the cute to the utterly bizarre, making Street photography an absolute delight.
\nI used two combos here, with the predominant one being Jack London<\/strong> with Otto<\/strong>. The inkish-blue tones of this combo remind me of the shades of denim and indigo dye that Japan is well known for. As a country with nearly continuous precipitation all year round, this combo played up the overcast skies while brightening the overall subject.\"<\/em>
