Koyuki Barber Shop
This noren's design comes from the image of a barber's comb. This is the fifth noren with this design the shop has ordered, but each one is a different color. This time, the owner picked green for the background because it's a very relaxing color. The current shopkeeper's mother, Yukie, opened Koyuki Barber Shop 50 years ago. These days, the shopkeeper also makes buckwheat noodles as a hobby. Recently, sightseeing tours have begun to stop in front of this store so the guides can explain the comb design to tourists. It has become a point of interest along the Katsuyama sightseeing route. |
