Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was taken at Nihonbashi-Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 This is a photograph of the back street of “Kishimen-ya” along “Kinza-dori” near Ningyocho station.

 “Kishimen” is a kind of “Japanese udon noodles” and is a dish that uses noodles that are thinner and flatter than “udon”.

 “Kishimen” is a specialty dish of Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, but I love “Kishimen” among udon noodles.

 It has a smooth texture and is easy to eat, and the flat noodles make it easy for the soup stock to get entangled.

 The photograph contains the “Hiragana character” called “Kishimen”, but from the perspective of foreigners, I think it is a more Japanese and interesting character than Kanji.

 “Kanji” is a character derived from China, but “Hiragana” is a character unique to Japan.

 If you imprint the characters “Hiragana” on a photograph, many people will immediately understand that “This is a landscape photograph of Japan!”.
