Yakitori bar called “Take-chan”
*Comment from photographer: “95 year old Take-san has been making yakitori in this restaurant for over half of a century. A piece of old Edo in the middle of luxurious Ginza. Undoubtedly the best yakitori I’ve had so far.”

Right after the earthquake/nuclear plant crisis
Ginza was dark at 7PM, as the Save Electricity movement was taking over Japan after the crisis in the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant caused an energy shortage. Sad to see dimmed lights in the usually blinding Ginza but conserving energy was priority at that time. (April 2, 2011) *Taken by My Eyes Tokyo
