A man wearing a tank top was sitting in a store in Kolkata. It was a small store that would fill up if one person sat in it. This man was the owner of the store and a tobacconist.

In a basket on his lap, you could see a large number of finely chopped tobacco leaves. He was just making a roll of tobacco by hand, one by one. Just like in Japan, branded cigarettes produced by manufacturers are sold in India as well. But at the same time, homemade cigarettes are also sold, like this man hand-rolled, and it's not uncommon to see people producing hand-rolled cigarettes.

The man who was quietly making cigarettes is surrounded by many small products. Many of the products on the shelves seemed to be of primary colors.
