While I lived in Okayama Japan, I worked at a hostel & bar located in Kurashiki City's Bikan Historical Quarters. Featured in this photo are many of the employees that I worked along side with at this establishment, all of whom I share many fond memories with.
One very interesting thing to note about this particular photo is that there is a method as to how every one is positioned in this photo. Positioned to the far right closest to the camera is the head honcho (Japanese pun intended) of the business, notably referred to as Shachou (社長). Of course this positioning is done completely with the attention of displaying his status in the company.Similarly, many of those positioned closer to the camera behind Shachou also hold high managerial positions and the like. Three of the men featured in the photo, those positioned farthest to the back and on the far left were the chefs of our restaurant. I think how they are positioned in the photo suits the idea of the chef being the one to work behind the scenes. You will also find me positioned in the far back middle, a place that I myself wasn't expecting to stand in on account that I was only a part-time worker.
