Some Vintage Photos, Part 2/2

The window-washer takes a brief break to watch the cars and people move ant-like about the street six floors below of the Asahi Shimbun Building in downtown Tokyo on August 18, 1954. The way he goes about his work would be considered insane by his safety conscious counterpart in the United States. He uses no safety belt or hooks of any kind and moves along the two-inch wide ledge on straw sandals known as “Zorries”. He maintains his precarious perch by holding on the window with one hand while washing with the other. (Photo by Mike Yamaguchi/AP Photo)
