竹葉亭食堂
Chikuyotei Restaurant
Beyond a wide stretch of road, the shop stands with its corner turned toward us. Doing everything in bamboo, the book says, was what set this eel restaurant apart.
About this photo
Beyond a bright, wide road stands a shop of two or three stories, its corner facing us. A railing or lattice runs across the second floor, and black shadows like plants fall on the wall to the right. On the ground floor are an entrance and a row of pillars, and a utility pole stands in the left foreground.
The table of contents titles it "竹葉亭うなぎ店" (Chikuyotei Eel Restaurant), and the name with the photo is "竹葉亭食堂" (Chikuyotei Restaurant). It was an eel restaurant. The short comment singles out the use of bamboo for absolutely everything as the shop's special feature, and calls it a good building, with the wall and windows in fine balance.
