At first glance this photo seems to show a man 
slumped over, struck down by a white arrow, 
yet nobody around him in the subway car pays any 
attention. Actually the woman next to him is 
carrying a lucky New Year's hamaya -- they're 
sold at shrines. Note the dynamic Marunouchi line map 
up in the image's right corner, over the door.
