It reminded me of the red seals on ancient (and modern) Chinese drawings, paintings and prints, so the composition was made to emphasise this.

The decidedness of the color choice of gray for the storefront — including the windows! — is a topic of much mirthful conversation and speculation among local residents, a passerby told me when she saw me taking pictures. She was elderly!
