A small mom-and-pop rice shop in Nishijin has a blue sign with white lettering that reads
自転車
That of course means "bicycle," but we have no idea why.
The building is old - which in the area is normal - and the sign is of a certain vintage.
However, there was not a bike or tool or pump to be found.
We didn't have time to investigate but the street, Teranouchi Dori, has much to recommend it.
Temples, small shops, old homes abound - so we will get back there and solve the mystery of the blue "jitensha" sign.
