IF THIS IS NOT A BARBER SHOP OF SORTS, I HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE. ALTHOUGH I HAVE SPENT SOME TIME IN JAPAN, LONG AGO, I NEVER RECALL ANYTHING OF THIS NATURE AROUND DOORS. COULD IT BE A PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTER? NO, IT HAS TO BE A BARBERSHOP. COULD IT BE THE ENTRANCE TO A CANDY CANE FACTORY? NO, I WILL STICK WITH THE BARBER SHOP THEORY.
