銀茶寮料理店

Ginsaryo Restaurant

Ginza, Tokyo · Before 1929 (Showa era)

A tiled roof sits above latticed windows. The book praises the way this restaurant pushed its chimney aside, as if it belonged to the house next door.

About this photo

A fence of vertical boards stands on the right, and to its left is a two-story Japanese-style restaurant. On the second floor are latticed windows and a railing, with a tiled roof and a gable above. On the ground floor, latticework and an entrance sit beneath an eave, and a bright road stretches out in front.

The table of contents lists this restaurant as "銀茶寮料理店" (Ginsaryo Restaurant), and the writer first points to its "Kyoto-style exterior." The writer sees the designer's skill in how even the kitchen door adds to the effect of the design, and in how the awkward chimney has been pushed off as if it belonged to the house next door.
