The dress is typical of the colorful store owner.
Of all the downtown Tokyo neighborhoods, Sendagi has a particularly mature and relaxed atmosphere. Nearby are Yanaka, with its retro shopping streets, and Nezu, with its many cultural assets, and the area is sometimes collectively called "Yanesen.
The recycle store "Fun Again," which opened in Sendagi in 2021, is a store that strongly reflects the personality of its owner, Daisuke Takashima. Furniture and household goods from a wide range of ages and genres are crammed into the store. When you look at the price tags of the items you are interested in, you will be surprised to find that the prices are more affordable than you might imagine.
I think that the items I sell here are more valuable than the items that are generally valued. We deal in such items here. Popular furniture is more expensive, but how can you create an attractive living space without spending a lot of money? I always thought about that, so I opened this store to share those ideas with our customers.
Fun Again" is open on weekdays for purchasing and on weekends for business. On Saturdays, his wife, Yoshiko Nakayama, helps out at the store. Customers come not only from Tokyo but also from the Kanto area, so the merchandise changes every week.
These two men are wearing down jackets from the Woolrich Outdoor Label. Mr. Takashima chose the "Gore-Tex Two Layer New Arctic Hoodie" and Mr. Nakayama chose the "Arctic Classic Fit Hoodie. Both are the brand's flagship models. Both are representative models of the brand, and their classic design is appealing. Both Mr. Takashima and Mr. Nakayama come from select stores, and their color matching and clothing choices show their attention to detail.
Our store is colorful and energetic, so I was conscious of dressing appropriately as the owner of the store. I was conscious of appropriate outfits for the owner of a shop. I freely styled the aprons without being bound by the theories of a clothing store, such as combining pants and shoes from different sports brands. I like graphical items, so the aprons are a good way to express that.
The inner material of the jacket is a contrast to the voluminous jacket, and the patterned skirt accentuates the jacket. I also accentuated the jacket with a patterned skirt, and since heels would have made the jacket stand out, I used mountain boots to link the outdoor elements.
