Jun Iwasaki – Over Joy, 2018

An American actor went to a restaurant in Kyoto that doesn’t accept first-time visitors. He said his name, he was a world famous actor.

The proprietress smiled and said « Who introduced you? ».

« I wasn’t introduced, but it’s me.” He said.

The proprietress said, « I am sorry, but we cannot let anyone into our restaurant without an introduction.”

The actor started talking about money. Yet, the proprietress politely refused with the same attitude.
