京都の骨董店Located across the street from the Museum of Kyoto, on Sanjo Dori in downtown Kyoto, is an old antique shop.
While parking our bikes in the mini-lot - a rack outside the museum for bikes - we glanced over our shoulder at the graceful shop.
It almost seems churlish to point out the building that scowls above and behind it, the telephone pole and wires that streak past its roof like tracer bullets.
But still, the shop exists and persists. And in the area, more and more of its kind are opening and flourishing.
The mansion in the background is typical of grotesqueries built in the 1980s and 90s.
Newer versions are no smaller, but design elements have been given more consideration.
