It is the portrait with Coogee Bear which does it.
It is his defence case: He doesn't want anybody else. He is self-contained in his desires.

The American coffee company is so popular in Japan that it recently announced plans to buy out its Japanese partner for $900 million and take full control of operations in its second-largest market.
But not everyone is a fan of the customizable drinks and free Wi-Fi on offer at over 1,000 branches of the global chain, soon to be found in every prefecture, including remote, rural Tottori.
“The way they make (coffee) is totally wrong. It’s not tasty,” says Ichiro Sekiguchi, the 100-year-old owner of long-established independent Tokyo coffee shop Cafe de L’Ambre, not far from Shinbashi Station in the Ginza district.
[...]
“There are many people who drink coffee in Japan, but they drink bad coffee,” said Sekiguchi, who estimates that there are only “around five” truly good coffee shops in Japan. Naturally, that includes his.
While smoking is banned in Starbucks, the acceptance of clouds of toxic cigarette fumes may be a factor keeping old school coffee shops like L’Ambre afloat.
“Japan is still way behind in terms of anti-smoking policies, especially measures against secondhand smoke,” said Hiroshi Yamato, a doctor and smoking expert at the University of Occupational and Environmental Health in Kitakyushu.
“You can still smoke in a lot of public places in Japan such as office buildings, coffee shops, restaurants and bars,” he said.
Sekiguchi, who smokes a pipe, said new cafes that ban smoking have got it wrong, as “after drinking delicious coffee, you want to smoke tobacco.”

He smokes a pipe. Good pipe tobacco is not the same as a cigarette. Same with a fine cigar.

IMHO, it's like the choice between eating dog shit or cat shit...
