Fatima Takehara Brothel ❤️❤️

About Tokyo

Best bit? The stories floatin’ round. Bloke swore he saw Elvis in a Nevada cathouse, 1980s. Elvis! Humpin’ away! Prob’ly bollocks, but I’m tickled pink thinkin’ it’s true. Adds spice, ya know? Brothels ain’t just bangin’ – they’re a circus, a madhouse! My kinda place.

CHAPTER 5. The Voices of Aged Buraku Women

Mitarai: read a guide to the port town of Mitarai on Island in Hiroshima Prefecture. Mitarai used to be the largest brothel in the Inland Sea.

After that, I hit up the Takehara Art Museum. I’m not even an art person, but they had this exhibit on local artists. Some of the stuff was wild! Like, one painting looked like a cat threw up on a canvas. I’m standing there, trying to figure out if it’s genius or just plain weird. I’m laughing to myself, and this lady next to me gives me the side-eye. Chill, lady! Art is subjective, right?
