The roots of Japanese department stores
This is Takashimaya in Japan. (Another photo is taken at Mitsukoshi.)
NYC's Takashimaya, shot by Brian of New York Daily Photo, is here.
Japanese famous department stores, Takashiyama, Mitsukoshi and Isetan, come from Japanese luxury clothes, Kimono, shops.
PS. Coincidentally the building is similar to the one in Athens Daily Photo.

One of my favorite store chains...Takashimaya. :-)
We have a similar building in Athens which also serves as a department store. I just posted the photo in ADP
Following the lnk from Athens. It's true they look similar. Is that a kimono in the window? It's so very beautiful.

Thank you for the comment!!
angela: Yes, it is kimono. We seldom wear kimono now and kimono is just an art object for me.
I love this blog!
