TOKYO SHOPS – the wow factor unpacked
In Tokyo, it doesn’t matter whether you’re stepping into the marvellous MUJI – heralded for it’s reliable blandness in design, it’s mundane minimalism but unbendable quality – or the basic and bland Japanese clothing shop UNIQLO that not unlike Muji features simple lines and quality ‘plains’ desired throughout the world … – or if you’re wandering down the blinging Omote-Sando with the incredible architecture of designer shops Prada, Dior, Cartier, Chloe etc…. Maybe you’re at the Ueno fish market checking out some fresh salmon or wandering through the second hand stores in Harajuku – wherever you may be you’ll have to agree that the Japanese are experts at making their shops, shopfronts and their product displays utterly tempting and tasteful. Mwah!
Check out our Tokyo pics of shops, shopping and displays right here. Don’t miss the breathe-taking Prada building photos especially the ones we managed to ‘sneaktake’ inside – note the fur covered railings! And by the way if ever you’re in London or Tokyo make sure you get to Muji and Uniqlo – two of Japan’s greatest exports! Whatever you buy will last you for a long long time even though it may look a little plain!
