Tokyo's Hidden Secrets 2
TokyoMade dig up more treasures this week. Discover funky galleries and event spaces showcasing up-and-coming Japanese creators.
Tokyo's Hidden Secrets 1
Hidden in the back streets of Tokyo lie secret treasures that even Tokyoites themselves barely know. Funky galleries, shops and event spaces showcasing up-and-coming Japanese creators and their works. This week, TokyoMade, enthusiastic supporters of independent Japan-based design and creation, take you on a tour to discover them.
Pink and Pretty
In the basement of Laforet Harajuku, the famous fashion building in Tokyo, a young woman is cheerfully trying on a soft pink coat. As she raises the hood over her head, two big rabbit ears pop up. She looks in the mirror and a shy but happy smile appears on her face.
Tokyo 135˚
The Tokyo 135˚ shop is hidden away on the second floor in a small building on a back street of Harajuku. If you don’t know it is there, you’ll most probably never find it. You’d miss out on Harajuku’s best modern kimono shop.
Wagado
Walking into the tiny Wagado shop in Osaka’s Amerika Mura is like entering a cave made out of clothes. It is dark and there are clothes all over. On the walls, hanging from racks, and even hanging from the ceiling.
The coolest store no one knows of
Ever heard of Bedrock? No? Well, its only one of the coolest stores in Tokyo. There’s a rumor that it lies down a spiral staircase that can only be accessed through the back of a café at the lower end of Omotesando Hills…
Soe in Nakameguro
Soe (so-ee) can be spelt with the characters for “create” and “inclination”. So then it goes without saying that this menswear brand is a favorite among fashionably apt men around the cool area of Nakameguro and beyond
Barbie Gone Harajuku
Barbie. Now, before your eyes roll back in your head, see what fuss the plastic prodigy is kicking up in the back streets of Harajuku with her new best friend, the queen of quirk, Patricia Field
