sou

This is one of the three old tenement houses, Hou, Ren, and Sou. Very close to Karahori moll. First I was attracted by the donut shop and Takoyaki shop. They are side by side and sell their goods, facing pedestrians. Others, the two-​storied building has a gallery, kimono shop, café and so on. I forgot to visit a hair salon and boutique. It was a pity.
A noren or cotton curtain on which the Kanji character, Sou and 10^th anniversary was written was hanged at the entrance. I was moved at this facility has been on business for 10 years.
It is situated on a slight slope. I think it was so hard to reform this tenement house because it is located in slope. I can’t help admiring the architect of this building.
I hope this old tenement house will exist for more 10 or 20 years. It has a nostalgic and humane atmosphere. As if each owner of the shop welcomes us…
