Yamanote dress rehearsal: take one
by rebecca ~ October 4th, 2008. Filed under: Ordinary Muse.
My son and I constructed a Japan Railways Yamanote subway (runs in Tokyo) costume from cardboard boxes, paper and paint. This is his favorite train of all trains, hands down. We got the idea from a Japanese TV commercial he loves on YouTube. Here he is testing out the pilot study. We will try to find a black cap and a nice black suit at the thrift store, so he looks the part of the train conductor.
Yes, I am well aware no Minnesotans will realize what he is dressed up as for Halloween. They will think he’s a bus, probably, or the lightrail at best. Yet as long as my son knows and I know and his dad knows–that’s just fine with us.
