Sweeping generalisation it may be, but Japanese women really like their shopping, making it a practice that’s arguably almost religious-like in its diligence and devotion, with big brands breeding further belief in the acceptance and apparent serenity they supply.
A fact young Taro and Tetsuo had the misfortune to figure out the hard way as, on a double date in early August, 1970, the two newly engaged lads, aged 20 and 26 years-old-respectively, made the fateful error of offering to wait outside while their partners finished fiddling about with fabrics and finally found something.
Unfortunately, however, after almost forty years and a phenomenal amount of frustration for the now old fellas, it seems their fiancées still haven’t finished or even found anything they fancy.

Sorry I did not have my camera handy yesterday (Sunday) in Ginza. Not only did I see something similar but both dad and grandad had not so small children wrapped around their necks exhausted and sleeping while mama and grandma were in some fancy AC shop looking and touching all the goods without buying a thing.
