If you're a salaryman (corporate businessman) working or visiting in Japan's capital, chances are that you have spent an evening under the train tracks at Yurakucho Station.  There you find numerous izakaya's, small, traditional Japanese eating places and casual drinking places.  After work, a number of businessmen are seen here drinking and socializing with their friends or co-workers over popular dishes such as yakitori.

This painting depicts an early evening scene around Yurakucho Station.  The area is getting crowded with businessmen who have just come out of nearby office buildings.  Are they heading home or are they here for chotto ippai (a quick drink)?  There's no telling, of course, but here at Yurakucho Train Station, the lure of akachochin (red lanterns hung in front of izakaya) is very real.
