A not unusual Tokyo subway scene

A not unusual Tokyo subway scene by ionushi.
My first photo reaching (months ago) 1000 views, and still the most popular: a daily scene and a lovely image, not only because of the cute ladies, but mainly for the many beautiful things it says about Japan and Japanese people.

This photo belongs to The Asiain Gallery.

Well, if I am not wrong, the lady on your left side is reading a mistery novel, and the one on your right what seems to be a poetry book or a romantic novel. As for the one in the middle, well, the cover is black...

Women are doing all the work

Gracias, Danielo. ¿No te encanta la concentración con que leen? Están absortas no como alguien que estudia, sino como un niño que juega.

great photo. i love the girl 2nd to left because she is more casual and less coiffed, and her book is black which she reads with a smile. perhaps she is japanese american, as a tourist in japan?

yes I am happy too, that not only pics, sent to my group www.flickr.com/groups/dissymmetry are high-class,
but on the other hand, social-documents too...
P.S.:
aditional: it soothes me, that you are allowed, to take pics in the subway; in Germany every person, who finds themself published online can demand 5.000 $ penalty for not giving a permission; that's the death of art and street-photography in germany (again, after the NAZI-world had opressed art too)
