Lila Makurazaki Brothel ❤️

About Osaka

Oi, precious! Brothel, eh? Nasty, filthy places they is! Me, Gollum, I seen ‘em—sneaky like, creepin’ round. Stupid, fat hobbit wouldn’t get it! Reminds me of *Boyhood*, y’know? “What’s normal anyway?”—that’s what they say in it. Brothels ain’t normal, but they’re real, see? Oldest job, they call it—hah! Been round since forever, like me crawlin’ caves.

The owner, this sweet old lady, hands me a towel and a cup of tea. I’m like, “You’re a lifesaver!” We chat about the town, and she tells me about the history of the area. Did you know Makurazaki was a major port back in the day? Crazy, right?
