Chinese restaurant at Shijo bridge, Kyoto
posted March 26, 2003
This prewar building was designed by American turned Japanese citizen William Merrell Vories, who also designed much of Doshisha University in Kyoto and the Toyosato, Shiga school that has been much in the news lately.
Wonderful historic building. I was just there 2 weeks ago to visit a friend of the family that has worked at the restaurant for over 20 years. Coincidentally, my father attended Doshisha University in the 1950′s.
