Title
Outside Meiji Jungo
Description
Out of the two weeks in Japan, being awake for all hours of the day, there was only two times that I witnessed a street preformer. There is possibly either really high regulations for permits because it could be seen as a disturbance to the public and to common foot traffic, or people do not want to street preform because of the same perception. There also could be more reasons as to why, but the answer is nonconclusive on my end for now.

There is music playing on a stringed instrument, and bells are being hit in succession of the strings. The wind pushes past, muffling the sound, and a loud engine rolls past. You can hear a lot of foot traffic on solid pavement as a single street preformer continues to play his music on a street corner as cars continue to pass by. There is a combination of Chinese, Japanese, and English being spoken as tourists walk past.
