Mannequins on high

I passed this mannequin perched above a restaurant in Nishi Shinjuku near the PO the other day. I can't explain their popularity, but it's not that strange to see them.

Nishi-Shinjuku? Near the PO?! I haven't seen it and I'm there so often. Can I blame my glasses? Few years old, fogging up in the humidity ... :D

It's... in a street that runs parallel to the train tracks close to the PO on the koshu kaido side. It is in the middle of the PO block. I didn't stop to ask about who he was or why he was there.

You didn't get his autograph? Hmph.

OTOH I did make a mental note that I should eat there and ask someday :)
