A typhoon whipped through Kyoto this weekend, with the heaviest rains coming on Sunday.
A surprising number of cyclists were out in the downpour.
This woman, in front of a police box on Oike Dori not far from City Hall, was ready for a deluge.
She is on her all-purpose "mama chari" bicycle. Her light blue "kappa" (rain coat) has a hood, and the exterior lining is a bright red.
The basket, which is above the front wheel, is covered with a rain-proof lining.
The piece de resistance, though, is the surgical mask. She either has a cold or is suffering from a pollen allergy.
