What happens when you drink this saké.

The saké is called onikoroshi—demon slayer. No relation to the manga or anime, which the saké predates by many years. Notice the demon face on the package. Evidently in addition to giving you demon slaying powers, it also provides you with stylish samurai hair. Sweet!

I think the company makes some more expensive offerings, but the one photoed here is a rather cheap sake. That 2 liter carton the older fellow is holding is something like just ¥1000, or at least it was the last time I bought some many years ago. It's not bad, but it's also not great.

Most Japanese advertisements are fairly boring. They tend to use far more text than Western ads and far less white space, overloading you with info, but overall they are uninteresting. You do, however, occasionally run across gems like this one.

Is this photography? Well, sure. I took it with my camera, while I was on one of the photowalks which I often go on and post about. One of the primary purposes of a photowalk is to get the creative juices flowing, to free your mind and get out of the rut of always shooting the same things. Shooting funny things can very much be apart of that.
