by yoko

Washio is one of my favorite nomiyas (watering hole) in western Tokyo. I spent an afternoon with fisherman, enka singer, bar owner extraordinairre Taro Washio and captured it all on video.

For more enka pleasure, please watch this amazing music video by superstar Jero.

Great little mood piece! I remember Washio-san.
I’m wondering whether he still wears my yellow hiphop tee now and then. Maybe for enka nights out.

And Takachiho – natsukashii!
