While walking in Nezu, I came across an old-fashioned Japanese-style tableware shop. The entrance is of course a sliding door, not an automatic door. There must have been many such stores in the past, but they are becoming rare nowadays.
There is a sign on the door in expert handwriting that reads “Omotogu” on the right and “Byobu” on the left. With an increasing number of homes without tatami mats, it is probably quite rare nowadays to find a house that has both the Omotogu and the Byobu. It seems to me that Japanese houses are unfortunately not very popular. Indeed, I too prefer wooden flooring to tatami.
