Kamakura Scooter

Can't leave this brief slides-of-recent-travels without a nod to the ubiquitous scooter, favored mode of transportation by students, monks, and mailmen. I snapped this one parked outside a house off the main road into Kamakura, the seat of the Shogunate from 1185-1333. A beautiful city of shrines and temples, it is also home to the Daibutsu (Great Buddha) at the Kōtoku-in temple.
Given the chance, I'm quite sure he would have ridden a scooter too.
