Description
The third print in a set of six — another version of Bar Sourire, the Ginza establishment that appeared in the "Pictures of Ginza" series — presents the bar within the context of a broader set documenting Ginza's nightlife. The set format suggests Kazuma was recapitulating his Ginza subject matter for a different audience or market, the bar's interior now one episode in a narrative sequence of urban evening pleasures. The warm interior of the bar, with its promise of social ease and good drink, was a subject Kazuma understood from both inside and outside.
