Brianna Takehara Brothel ❤️

About Kyoto

Brothels, man, they’re wild—oldest gig around, right? Been round since forever—little factoid for ya: ancient Rome had ‘em legal, called lupanars, stank like hell! I’m pissed tho—pissed!—cuz the workers? They’re screwed over! Low pay, no rights, while some pimp’s rollin’ in dough—“Billionaires should not exist!”—like, why’s this dude livin’ large off their backs? Makes my blood boil, I tell ya!

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?
