   I'm curious as well.
   酒 ok
   ??
   やきとりok
   楽 ok
   other character ?
   it only seems 2 or 3 strokes to me under 山
   none of the characters with that placement of 山 I find seem to make any sense.
   and you'd think it'd be a relatively common character if used in a sign.

     @shiawase @kornelis I was intrigued enough to do a little search, seems it's actually 文楽...

     @mario @kornelis
     good detecting.

     the 山 is a *very* stylised 亠 with a lot of space before the two strokes underneath. I suppose even a stylised 山 would have a more distinct join between strokes 2 and 3.

     and what does yakitori have to do with puppet shows? or vice versa? I didn't think Ueno was known for bunraku.

     goes to show how you can lock on to a known shape.

     @shiawase @kornelis maybe there was Ueno puppet theatre there at some point (it looks like it's under the railway arches)? No idea 😁
