...Vowz presents an opportunity for Tokyo's youth to "wind down and enjoy a drink in religious surroundings," explains Fujioka, who is a member of the Jodo Shin sect. Like Ueno, he studied for four years to qualify for the monkhood, but now seems to have found his mission amid Vowz's barstools and cocktail shakers. There's plenty in the venue to remind him of a monastery, from a miniature butsudan shrine in the corner to Nepalese mandalas on the ceiling, the ever-present haze of incense and a powerful Bose woofer system playing the synthesizer-backed chants...

That's because the city is currently under the control of Moqtada Sadr's militia, and the cleric is holed up in his office there near the tomb of Imam Ali, the holiest shrine of the Shiite sect.
