The matching colours and community of an old school Tokyo shop

With their enormously varied stock, convenience stores certainly live up to their name, and the sheer number of them in the Japanese capital only makes that moniker even more appropriate. None of them, however, look anywhere near as lovely as this little Tokyo shop. A wonderfully old school place that offers colour coordination opportunities for passersby, as well as the far more important element of community and conversation.

      Thank you. Yeah, that all came together really well. Way better than I expected to be honest.

    ‘Old school’ for sure! Thanks.

    Looks like the woman in the final photo is smiling at you.

      You are welcome.

      Yeah. She wasn’t bothered at all by me taking photos. Quite the opposite in fact.
