Having lived in Japan for over 10 years, most strange spelling and names don't even grab my attention anymore, so when something does, it has to be really awful. I came across this clothing store for kids in a mall near our house. Probably not the best name for a store of any kind...

Always enjoy your pix reflecting differences in Japanese/American culture.

There's a picture book called Tokyo: A Certain Style, full of photos of the insides of "real" people's homes there. These interiors are not necessarily streamlined, though. Most rooms featured in the book are smaller than what you'd expect, and the rooms tend to be cluttered, but they're full of personality. It's amazing what people can do with limited space, some creativity and an eye for beauty. It's very inspiring. (My favorite anti-shelter book!)
Unfortunately the pages all fell out of mine...I'm trying to find the hardback edition now! ;-)
