Tokyo bar clutter and character(s)

In many of Tokyo’s little bars, clutter is seemingly very much the order of the day, along with signs all over the walls allowing you to know what to order on any given day. But such a mishmash of stuff does give each place character. And fortunately this establishment, like so many others, also has its characters.

    I really like the triangular element of the two men and the TV. Actually amazed to see such a small and outdated TV these days. In high-tech Japan too! 😉

      Cheers! I liked the little television too. Had one other shot. A better expression on the fella’s face as well. But sadly the TV was barely in the frame…

      Likewise. Times have certainly changed. Well, in some places they have!

      You might be hard pushed to get one that small!

      The analogue TV signal was turned off a good few years ago, so they must really like that model, as presumably they are using a special tuner of some sorts.

        Obviously minimalism doesn’t extend that far, unless the concept implies ‘no TV’!

        A Mitsubishi tuna perhaps? (couldn’t resist)

          It made me chuckle, so I’m glad you couldn’t resist!
