Oh Please Let it Rain Today

Oh please let it rain today.
This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways.
Oh, there was a time, like a clean, new taste…
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face.
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love

Yakitori Shop

Red Japanese lanterns at a Tokyo yakitori shop. These akachochin (red lanterns) indicate a Japanese pub/restaurant that serves liquor/sake. Friends tell me these lanterns were popular after WWII as a marking for black market shops and restaurants. As time progressed they came to mark restaurants where you could get drunk and have a good time (izakayas). Now they are all over Tokyo and generally indicate good food & drink at a working man’s price. There is much more to the history of Japanese lanterns. I would not dare to try to understand it all myself.

Please forgive another long exposure experiment. I came down with a cold today and feeling lazy.
