One more Oddity

#6


It is not uncommon to find umbrellas in use on the hottest and sunniest of days, as the sun can be quite hot, and a light complexion, especially for the ladies, quite desirable. Many places have these umbrella stands for users during sunny and rainy conditions. Other places, such as temples, may provide visitors with a plastic bag for their umbrella and/or shoes. This rack, at the Yushukan War Museum, works like a public locker - place umbrella in stand, insert coin, remove key, off you go.
