Oh, on this week’s episode of “stalking fictional characters on Google Streetview”….eh, does the shoe repair shop in question actually exist?

Yes, yes it does.
シューズハウス・ふみや (Shoes House Fumiya) -
Shakujiimachi 3 Chome 17-7, Nerima, Tokyo 177-0041. Yep, it’s near the Shakujii-Koen station on the Tobu Ikebukuro line, and it’s one of 2 shoe repair shops on the same street.

It’ll be ironic if a later chapter is about a local Yakiniku restaurant or coffee shop - the entire area has a rather retro, late-Showa vibe.

guest appearance by effin HANS ZACHS more or less, radiates the author of Der Meister.
Side note, any 80s-90s kids here? Remember when everybody was -meister?

Eh, I thought that was Dieter Zetsche, the guy who used to be on all those goofy DiamlerChrysler car ads from the early 2000s…

“Ja, I retired from Diamler back in 2019, got into my BMW i8 and drove it all the way to Nerima in Tokyo so I can work on this girl’s boots…BTW, have you looked under a 2006 Chysler 300C? We stuffed it full of German Technology - mind you, old Mercedes tech from the 90s…what did you expect, we invented cars…”

I mean. I had never heard of him but you’re very right. es ist Der Meister.
Hans Sachs was a well-known citizen/poet/musician of Nuremburg in… the Renaissance roughly (will check dates- edit: yeah basically. Lived through the Reformation) who was professionally a shoemaker but left behind a famous manual of sword techniques. Never stopped making shoes though.
(Edit: one of many books was a dialogue with the Marx Brothers about their fencing school’s fundamentals— (not THE marx brothers sadly) mentioned e.g. Keith Farrell blog. Forgive the digression
