while taking care of #1 or #2

i had a fabulous meal last night at picco in larkspur, marin. i'd never live in this area (self-righteous wealthy [white] people; sean penn lives in the area, 'nuff said) but it is nice for 1) forays into beautiful nature and 2) a handful of good restaurants. picco is one of the said dining destinations. other than the food, the other awesome thing about picco = these sweet bad boys hanging on the wall of the bathroom.

they're obviously vintage collectibles. there was also a framed collection of the baseball player pog-type discs but it was too dark to get on the phone. there were three bathrooms. i was curious to see what the other ones had for decor...

ryan or some other japanese culture expert can prob comment on what these are about, but i'm dumb. slightly slightly reminiscent of wacky packs but only in format.

Hrmmm... These are really beautiful! The first set is famous singers, sumo wrestlers, singers and actresses... I think those might be like, collectible Karuta cards? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karuta

As for the second set, I have no idea... Ads for movies and TV shows? We need to get Shockey here to weigh in on these.
