Freya Takikawa Brothel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Kobe

I reckon it’s set in some dusty ol’ West vibe—think Red Dead Redemption meets a cathouse on a Saturday night! Them developers snuck in lil’ facts, too—like how brothels back in the day had secret tunnels fer politicians to skedaddle. Ain’t that a hoot? Git-R-Done! Makes me chuckle thinkin’ ‘bout some suit hightailin’ it underground while the piano’s still playin’.

From a three-print set entitled 'A Selection from the Beauties of the Green Houses' (that is, the brothels of the Shin Yoshiwara licensed district). Takikawa.

So, I roll outta bed, and the sun’s blazin’ like it’s tryin’ to roast me alive. I’m thinkin’, “Great, just what I need.” I grab my gear and head out. Takikawa’s streets are a maze, man. I mean, you got the main drag, Route 12, and then all these little side streets like Kawai and Nishikawa. I swear, I got lost like three times just tryin’ to find my way to the field.
