Izakaya, Okayama 3
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 29 August 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
Here are some shots I took in Okayama just before I went away to Tokyo. An izakaya is a type of Japanese restaurant; I've got many shots of them scattered through my archives!

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

I don't understand what is written, may be some text of "noh" as there are those 3 masks. Nice picture.
