Toy Store in Asakusa called Kusou Zakka

Postby Thomas » Sun Aug 01, 2010 4:36 pm

As a big fan of the 20th Century Boys manga I find myself more and more into the imagery of the Showa era, so here is a blog post from Danny Choo who visited a shop in Japan that specializes in Showa era toys. Lots of pics and don't forget to mouse over them for comments.

"The Bird did not look like Rodan, but he sensed it was the spirit of Rodan."

Mike Hanlon (It by Stephen King)

Thanks for posting. I live in Asakusa and didn't even realise this place existed!
