京都の古い散髪屋館髪美On a trip to the Kyoto Water Bureau, which is just south of Kyoto Station, we passed this old barber shop.
It is located at the corner of Aburakoji and Ayanokoji, south of Shijo Dori.
The worn brick facade and window decorations were eye-catching.
Better still was the sign above the door, which reads:
館髪美
Read from right to left, it becomes "bihatsukan":
Beautiful hair hall
The final character (館), the "kan," is especially delicious. It is used for museums, cinemas, and the old foreign residences in Kobe.
The building was built in 1927 (Showa 2).
