Tying an Umbrella in Osaka and surprising people (Patreon)

Yes, we definitely got a lot of looks! 

What's the trickiest thing you've ever had to tie up? ⁠⁠For me, it's definitely been those transparent plastic umbrellas! 🌂⁠⁠You know the ones – ubiquitous in Japan, seemingly innocent, but oh-so-tricky to tame. They're like a symbol of the endless cycle of sharing and swapping in Japan. The umbrella culture lol ⁠⁠You grab one from a cafe, leave it behind for someone else, and pick up another on your way out. It's a dance of umbrellas, if you will. (you can take a clear one, but never the nicer ones!!!!)⁠But amidst the chaos, there's beauty to be found. ⁠So, don’t be surprised if your plastic friend disappears after you left it by the cafe – these cheapos also seem to be part of the societal share system, mi kasa es tu kasa (Kasa is umbrella in Japanese) 🌂⁠.⁠⁠Swipe through to witness the struggle (on the video lol!) , the triumph, and the sheer creativity that blooms when faced with a challenge. ⁠⁠And of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible vision and talent of Shane , inspired for cyberpunk after watching Blade Runner ...🤫⁠⁠Here's to the magic of spontaneous artistry, captured in the heart of Osaka. 📸✨⁠
