ここには実際入っていませんが、風俗には違う今があるとは、、、知らなかった。
ちょっとエキサイトした僕がバカじゃん!
Shitamachi Fuzoku Museum
Okay, one look at this sign and I was visibally excited.
You see, "fuzoku" commonly refers to brothels and shops that offer gentlemen a "relaxing" alternative ... with a happy ending.
But this is not a museum devoted to men's favorite past time.
Actually, the REAL definition (although not as commonly used) of fuzoku
means "the daily life of people during a particular time".
So this is a museum dedicated to how people lived in this area many decades ago.
So as you can surmise, my mind is always in the gutter.
