Maybe we've been in India too long, where there aren't any ginormo, big box castles of consuming. No Targets, no Wal-Marts, not even Supermarkets. You go from specialty shop to small grocery store, hoping what you need can be found, might be in stock. Hey, you do save money - you don't buy what you can't find. We're sure a lot of people are working hard on this problem.
The Japanese do not have this problem. They are as good a consumer as any gobbler in the west and they have an army of department stores to prove it. We wandered into several stores, from the upmarket to the more middle class. Here's a look at one establishment looking to make a sale by any signs necessary.
Bewildered customer in an electronics aisle. They've taken the point-of-purchase signage to a new level.
Another aisle of visual assault and a row of screaming TVs. Makes Best Buy look like a library.
Another floor, another 50 tons of stuff. The ad with a woman in traditional dress seems just a tad out of place. But it's Japan, forging headlong into the new while keeping room to respect the old. Kind of nice.
