Sophisticated Establishments
for a Discerning Clientele
Beyond the DoorTime Flows in a Tranquil Atmosphere.
Kochi Dining has been keeping a close eye on the evolution of food culture in the city.
The young owner-chef, the expert cook who manages the restaurant, and the legendary bartender
all of them have a passion for Kochi cuisine and local ingredients,
and their attention to detail is not affected by the changing trends of the day.

Together, Let’s Open the Door,To the Tranquil Time on the Other Side.

The photographer Ken-chan / Capricious Photo Diary 34

Another Showa thing has faded away…
Inside the factory, though everyone
has disappeared, I seemed to hear
women breathing.
The factory’s machines and tools,
having played their part,still lie calmly here and there.
Raw silk used to besuch a thriving industry.
For the many years
from 1917 to 2005,
Fujimura Silk Mill was a mainstay
in the culture of silk.
It should be sad for me to standby and see the end of the factory.
However, I had an excitingtime taking photos.
Well done, and thanks a lot.
