The Plastic Foods Of Kappabashi


Kappabashi-dōri is a street in Tokyo between Ueno and Asakusa which is almost entirely populated with shops supplying the restaurant trade: chopsticks, cups, bowls, knives, takeaway containers and, naturally, an infinite variety of plastic foods.

More than mere marketing tools, these fake plates of spaghetti, donkatsu, sushi and cakes are vibrant, brilliant works of art, which should be admired and adored.
