A Cafe With A (Possibly) Sinister Name

Only after opening up this photo for editing did I notice that the stairs lead to a cafe called "Morii".  The word looked familiar, but in a somewhat ominous way, as it reminded me of "Memento Mori".  So I looked it up, and interestingly enough, it has two meanings:  either "The desire to capture a fleeting experience", which is, fittingly enough, what I do when I photograph clouds and such;  or in Latin -- "I died".  My guess is the cafe was not named in Latin.
