Wherever I go, I have a small camera with me, because it allows me to share with others an interesting scenery or simply immortalize memories for myself. Let me share with you a few pictures that I took recently, who showed some “oops” effects in Japan.
During the still rather cold season in February I came across some couples getting married at Meji-Jingu. While I was admiring the wonderful kimono’s I unwillingly took a picture of a newer aspect of Japanese culture: Wearing heat-tech underwear with a Kimono. Ooops, I did not expect to see this.
By chance I came across the situation below, when the window display was already supposed to be finished at the newly opened Diver City shopping center in Odaiba, but I guess, someone forgot to add all the parts to the display. Ooops, arms missing…
Sometimes the use of English language can be interesting in Japan. I really wonder what is actually closed on the picture below (instead of “do not enter” the wording “closed” was used). Ooops, I cannot see the closed structure…
I hope you enjoyed as well the selection of some Japanese “ooops” in daily life.

Just discovered this blog through Bing, what a pleasant shock!
Dear Click here,
thanks for pointing out that I am being presently copied word for word on a Bing blog. I guess I have to see it as a compliment, but honestly I believe it is only fair from the “author” to inform me.
Truly appreciate your time to let me know about the plagiarism occuring.
Best regards,
Sibylle Ito
The “ooops” are often better than the “all is fine here” scenes! Thanks so much for sharing these situations in Japan with us.
