Nippori - Fabric Town, Tokyo



Over a kilometre of shops devoted to selling fabric. If I had any more money, I could have blown the lot in Nippori, a district of Tokyo devoted to material. As it was, I limited myself to a few sensible purchases. We skipped up to here on the way back from the Ghibli Museum.
I then spied this t-shirt - the mother of all Japenglish. Japenglish is that wonderful language that allows for things to be lost in the translation process. If you get a chance to read the front of this t-shirt, please do. It beggars belief. It now forms part of my wardrobe as I had to have it!
