EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and offbeat photo captured by Yoshikazu TSUNO, a dog adorned with a majestic mane-like decoration takes an extraordinary stroll on the rooftop of Tokyo's Mitsukoshi department store. The image was taken on April 5,2014, during a remarkable commemoration event celebrating the 100th anniversary of Mitsukoshi's mascot lion. A hundred dogs resembling lions gathered for this unique occasion, showcasing their fancy dress attire in honor of the iconic department store. This particular canine caught everyone's attention as it confidently strutted across the rooftop, its regal appearance turning heads and eliciting smiles from passersby. The photograph perfectly encapsulates Japan's penchant for blending tradition with contemporary eccentricity. It highlights the country's love for pets and showcases how even our furry friends can become part of grand celebrations. The juxtaposition of this elegant creature against Tokyo's urban landscape creates a captivating visual contrast that is both endearing and unexpected. Yoshikazu TSUNO masterfully captures not only the playful spirit but also the essence of Japanese culture through his lens. His ability to freeze moments like these allows us to appreciate fleeting instances that bring joy to our lives. This AFP print serves as a delightful reminder that sometimes all we need is an imaginative touch to transform everyday occurrences into extraordinary experiences – even if it means witnessing dogs parading atop department stores' rooftops!
