Shogetsu Billiards
"Modern German style, at the very forefront of the age": that is how this corner building was described. The one pity, said the critic, was the lighting in this billiard hall.
About this photo
A large sign, mounted at a slant, sits at the top corner of the building. Below it rises a wall three or four stories high, with a row of windows across the middle floors. To the right, low shops stretch away along the street, and in front the road looks paved with stone.
The short comment under the photo of this billiard hall calls it "a building in the modern German style, at the very forefront of the age." But it also notes that, unfortunately, the light fixtures don't suit the building's design, and closes by wishing the fixtures had been chosen by the same person as the building.
