京都大人用の三輪車On this past Sunday, errands on the nearby Taishogun high street allowed us to discover the normal great stuff on any such "shotengai" street.
A short list on this humble street would include: flower shop, sake shop, lady's clothes store, shrine, fish shop, pet shop (mainly fish), bike shop, hardware store, and more.
In addition, the theme of Taishogun appears to be ghouls - playful, friendly ghouls - and many of them were seated throughout the street.
However, the most eye-catching item on the street was a snazzy adult tricycle.
For elderly women, tricycles are common form of transportation in Japan. (Younger and middle-aged women prefer electric-powered bikes.)
However, most tricycles have two wheels in the back, atop which is a large basket for shopping.
This model has the two wheels up front and the requisite basket.
In addition, the bike is kitted out with a mirror, an umbrella stand, a low-slung down tube for easy mounting and dismounting, and a chain cover.
The ghoul seems to like it.
