Metal Animal Decorations
Posted in Stuff by tokyobling on November 11, 2011
You know in Europe they have the Garden Gnomes, ceramic or plastic gnomes that seem to be almost everywhere? Here in Japan, it seems we are getting a case of the metal dogs! Have you seen these shop decorations in and around Tokyo? I run into them all the time and earlier this year I started taking photos of them whenever I saw them. Here’s a couple of photos (from Hamadayama and Ikebukuro), but I have plenty more.

I wander if, in Japan, they will ever start kidnapping those little dogs… I mean…. this could happen to any gnome here…!
Haha… I hope not! (^-^)
I wonder how long they would last here..next to the cats and the dog
Oh, you mean that the dogs would…? I hope they are water proof! (^-^;)
