A Japanese Kabuki theatre mask serves as window dressing or display in one of the shops in the mall. A big mall such as this means the competition resulted in many shops making extra effort to stand out. A bonus for those with a camera.

I like the visual contrasts created by the group of women in black burqa and the shiny reflective floor. I am guessing they are group tourists from the Middle East as only guided tourists shop in groups. No?
When I saw the scene from outside, I was thinking “The world is a stage”. The shop front is like a Chinese opera stage. The challenge was keeping perspective distortion under control. I used Photoshop ‘select by colour range’ to isolate the reds.
So, what is a Yubi So?
