Trump makes an appearance in Asakusa?

It looks like the Orange One made an appearance recently in the form of a wire sculpture in the act of the comedic duo Oshidori. The married couple of Ken and Mako are a musical and artistic comedy act that regularly performs at the Toyokan in Asakusa. While Mako plays the accordian and makes most of the jokes Ken bends colorful wires in various shapes, serving as punchlines for many of the jokes. It's not that surprising that the Twitterer-in-chief made an appearance as he is constantly in the news and Mako, a comedian who has recently made headlines as an independent journalist focusing on the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, has never shied away from politics. The pictures shown here are scenes from a local show that showcases Toyokan comedians.
