Café Shy

In 1981, Ko Murobushi creates a highly idiosyncratic place in Tokyo. He calls it “a graveyard/bar/theatre located in the basement B1 of Killer Street leading to Aoyama Cemetery” and suspects that this is also the entrance or exit to the journey to the underworld. The greeting card stated “I hope that Shy will be a strange place where you can quietly soak in the neon lights of Nean under the soles of the mammoth called Tokyo – shy!” Café Shy is now reopening at the Spitzer and invites you to food and drink and talk and film sessions with international guests.
