Guarding imperial grounds, and looking sharp

I wonder if this guard is trained to defend the imperial grounds, or to simply look good in a suit? Those eyebrows are sharp enough to cut a winter tomato.

Summer stripes are fashionable

I love this guy’s outfit. His purple socks match his purple shorts. The orange band around the straw hat extends the stripes of his shirt. He is dressed for heat and looking very sharp and coordinated. (The sign to his left says, 火気厳禁, or “don’t use fire here”).
