A couple of guys in their Sunday's finest pose for pictures near Harajuku Station in Tokyo. Many teenagers and young adults congregate around the station and its adjoining park on Sundays to show off their sometimes rather extravagant costumes. This is is a way to rebel, in a small way, against the enforced conformity of Japanese society. Ironically, many dress up in groups of similarly-clad friends.
