A street display, shaved ice, noodles and a gift in photographs

An entrance display marked Takeshita St shows many figures, with added words saying that someone is appearing on screen. A separate photograph shows a shopping street filled with signs and people.

Ice-dessert photographs carry the words “shaved ice” and Sulbing. One has many strawberries, while another has green and brown powder and round green pieces. A wrapped-bread photograph also has words describing how good it tasted.

A photograph of noodles and dipping broth is labelled “Hayashida’s rich tsukemen.” Another, with a tea tin and a small doll dressed in blue, carries the words “gift” and “thank you.” Each preserves its own street display, food or gift.
