Are Japanese police artists?
any seized items are shown on television when the police catch a thief. It is intended to show how many things they have stolen, but the Japanese police are amazing in the way they arrange the items. Have a look at what they are capable of and you’ll see why they can only be described as artists:
Lots of sports balls
You can still see the new ones in boxes, but the pyramids are made from old balls that are not in a box. It looks like a department store display. The colors of these old balls reminds me of real pyramids.
This is the work of the Tochigi Police.
Underwear
These pieces of ladies’ underwear are sorted by color and even the gradations are arranged with care. They are well aligned, both vertically and horizontally, and are beautiful.
This is the handiwork of the Chiba Prefectural Police.
Shoes
Is this one inspired by mosaic tile art? The irregular color combinations are surprisingly beautiful.
This was created by the Iwate Prefectural Police.
Recorders
A large number of recorders stolen from schools. They are neatly arranged by type.
This is a piece by the Tochigi Prefectural Police.
Bicycle saddles
Were the culprits excited by the thought of women’s bottoms on them?
Organised by color, this one is by the Osaka Prefectural Police.
And here is an amazing one:
A display by the Metropolitan Police Department (Tokyo) in a beautiful gradation.
This can only be described as art!
Making Chanel with Chanel?
This is the work of the Aichi Prefectural Police.
They use a large amount of seized fake Chanel products to create the Chanel logo. Aren’t they just having fun at this point?
Idol photos
These are photos of Japanese male idols, seized because there were being sold without permission. It’s a neat and organized display, like a booth at an event.
This is a piece by the Metropolitan Police Department (Tokyo).
The best hand
These are items from a mahjong parlor that was conducting illegal gambling.
It is difficult to understand for those who do not know the game of mahjong, but the hand in the foreground in the picture is one hand away from the strongest combination: “Kokushi Musou” (“Thirteen Orphans” in English).
Moreover, it is the coveted hand of mahjong enthusiasts because whichever of the 13 types of tiles comes next, it’ll be a strong hand.
The Aichi Prefectural Police must love mahjong!
Tires
These are seized from criminals who stole luxury car tires. This arrangement looks like the display at a car tire store doesn’t it?
This is the work of the Tochigi Prefectural Police.
The Japanese police are world-famous for always working diligently, but don’t they look like they are having fun lining things up? It’s kind of cute to think about it, isn’t it?
