A day in Shimo-Kitazawa is an exhilirating experience of discovery and delight. Here, a tiny curry place with four tables, there, a shop selling vintage Americana with a specialty in 1950s letter-sweaters. Creativity is rampant, and the Japanese art of presentation is showcased wherever you look. This is where we found tiny perfectly formed Chinese-made scissors, scraps of kimono turned into miniature bijoux, and the best paper goods in the world.
