| Men in a kimono are a pretty rare sight, though. When I bought some overpriced two-week rail pass in Tokyo station, I saw that there are officially only three types of foreigners in the country. On the form handed to me you could be a) a businessman, b) a tourist or c) an entertainer. For Japanese "entertainers" are dancers and prostitutes, who mostly seem to come from abroad. The drag queens with kimonos you can see above likewise were foreigners. After I'd taken the picture, one of them said: "He's from America, too. Do you wanna come up and take some more pictures?" But I found that I'd taken enough pictures for that night.
