        1. While in Kyoto I am popping in at a few cafés featured in the book I have been reading lately. I am in Otafuku (which I have probably walked past a million times in the past 20 years) which actually has a small poster of Merry’s book above the bar! @meijiat150/1048352372999651329

        There is a sign prohibiting photos, so I will have to describe it: you walk down stairs into a dark wood-panelled room maybe 12x12. It feels kind of like stepping in the the captains cabin on a pirate ship.

      There is one booth, 3 very small (and low tables) and a bench with 3 more tables. The wooden bar in the corner seats 5 more. Altogether seating for 18. Each seat is upholstered in a dark aquamarine velvet.

    The lighting is also straight out of 19th C Vienna: at the top of the wall every two or so feet is a sconce with a faux gas light. Between each light is a frame-and-webbing shelf for you to put your ... I dunno, your bag of pirate booty or your Latin Gutenberg Bible? 🤷🏼‍♂️
