Yakitori Shop Lantern

If you made it through the long post I wrote yesterday, you know I had to make a special trip to my college in Saitama Prefecture to get my computer. (If you haven’t read it yet, you can scroll down to the next article below this one). Here is a picture I took with my Nikon D70s:

This lantern says, “Yakitori,” which can be written as　「焼き鳥」or 「やきとり」. “Yaki” 「焼き」means “cooked/baked” and “tori” 「鳥」means “poultry/chicken” So basically, it is a style of bbq on skewers, like a kabab.

The restaurant wasn’t open yet, but I thought this was a pretty cool lantern in front of the shop. I took this on the way back to the station, after I had gotten my computer back.

As always, you can click on the picture to view it at its home on flickr.
