Miniskirt In Winter

Miniskirt in winter at Takahatafudo Station.

January 2006. Takahatafudo Station, Hino-shi, Japan. It had snowed in Tokyo the week before – the first time in a couple of years. Temperature in the evenings were usually subzero. When the wind blew, the chill penetrated right to the bones even though I had four layers of clothing on. My nose bled. My ears froze. There were frostbites on my hands. I had removed the gloves to take some pictures. It was impossible to press the shutter button wearing them. I could not believe my eyes when I saw this young woman waiting at the train station in her winter jacket, miniskirt and boots. Miniskirt in that freezing cold? I was thoroughly impressed.

    That kind of heat surely can melt snow in winter.

  2. Whoa! Wearing a mini-skirt in the middle of Tokyo’s cold winter? She must be used to the cold weather or she wouldn’t wear that.

    Peter:
