Eddie took this picture around Ueno station. Its a adult sex shop… 7 stories of it. I went into one of them before, er.. only the first floor…the shelves is fill up boxes of silicon pussy, whole wall of them! I never noticed the wordings on the building until Eddie too this picture. Anyway, the Japanese words at the side of the building says “大人のコンビニ” [Otona no conbini]. Translated: adult’s convenience shop.

Your reading of 大人 as “oh hito” is salah lah. It should be “otona”, possibly a contraction between the two most common sexes “otoko” (“man”) and “onna” (“woman”). Nice try though.

大人のコンビニ
it should be Otona no combini
人 is hito when it stands alone but 大人 is pronounced otona
