Of note, this rice cooker is used here as a collection box (you put your donations in it at the end of the show. Inside the lid is written 'Thank You'. My wife who grew up in Japan claims that she's never seen a rice-cooker as ancient as this one.
In the background you can see the female half of the performing duo in nearly-complete regalia.

Hey, this is just perfect! The rice cooker comes out great. I love the tones and structure. And the woman in the background is wonderful with the blue color under her eyes. Very very well done!

@Lucca: Many many thanks, Lucca!
A compelling shot Damon - the juxtaposition of the figure and cooker and the colour & DoF are wonderful!

@Makoto: :) But I wouldn't want to eat rice cooked in that one. Thanks, Makoto!
Really ancient rice cooker, I remember seeing something like this back in years.

Wow, this is a beautiful shot. I agree, this rice cooker is very very old. It certainly adds to the charm of the performers though.
