What day is it today?
It’s been decades since we’ve seen public telephones, and for some reason they give off a Showa-era vibe and a sense of mystery.
They’re not bad, but I wonder if they’ll disappear soon.
September 11th is “Public Telephone Day” – this commemorates the installation of Japan’s first automated public telephones at Shimbashi Station and Ueno Station in Tokyo on September 11th, 1900.
