Hat Man


Hat Man. This guy was on tv just about two weeks ago. He's an older guy (maybe in his 70s) that rides his bike around town showing off his fancy homemade hats. He has hats that are multi colored, light up at night, with hanging ornaments, spinning accessories,...you name it he probably has it (or will be making it real soon). He roams around Naka-ku in Yokohama. Anyway, when they were interviewing him, I remember seeing this guy a long time ago. So I went digging in my photos from the past and sure enough!!...this was taken in 2003 (check out the EXIF) in front of Akarenga Souko (Red Brick Warehouse) in Yokohama. Check out this cool hat made with a pylon and figurines. Would you wear it in public?
