Random Japan #50 :: The Iron Samurai

in #randomjapan6 years ago

Welcome to issue 50 of Random Japan, your best completely random look at the land of maid cafes and cosplay.

Today, we have another familiar dark samurai, a temple entrance, and a reminder that life always finds a way.

Let’s get started. Let’s enter…

If you remember several issues ago, we looked at a Dark Samurai Vader. Well, it seems there are more in this toy line. Here Iron Man has been given the same treatment. A cool looking figure.

I normally go into and explore every temple and shrine I come across in this country, but I didn’t have the time to do that this time. Oh well. If I am ever in the area again, I will try to take the time. This entrance is somewhat typical of temples.

As many stone walls and concrete and paved surfaces that exist in this country, you’d think the nature lover might become depressed. But yet nature finds ways to grow in every crack. Life finds a way!


That’s all folks. Thank you for coming with me on this journey. If you enjoyed anything here today, come back tomorrow for another entry in Random Japan.
