This particular photo shows the entrance to a Japanese grill restaurant. There is a whole variety of those, and they have different names, like yaki tori (lit. grilled chicken), yaki niku (lit. grilled meat), and so on. Although they are mostly of Korean origin, the Japanese are well known from adopting anything and everything to their own needs and taste. It happens with food, writing system, fashion, you name it. It is not always a good thing, from a Western point of view, but sometimes the result of such conversion is quite original and artistically satisfying.
Ginza is a fascinating place. There is so much going on there, so many things to photograph, it is like a candy shop for any photographer. From the very first day since I came to Japan my attention was always drawn by the amazingly aesthetical store and restaurant fronts. Especially those that are kept in the spirit of Japanese traditions. I find this style very appealing. It is often simple, yet rich in content. Often times, the traditional Japanese displays are stunningly beautiful.
