Starting this weekend, I will be working at a cafe in Kyodo, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, calledTAKE TOKYO. will be flagging off a pop-up at Gotokuji Market, inviting stores and creators who are good friends of the company.

Leaving the various explanations for later, let's start with the location.

If you live in Tokyo and follow vintage clothing stores and other aspects of the city's culture, you probably know about Gotokuji Market.

Gotokuji Market, located in Gotokuji, Setagaya Ward, is a small arcade street known to the locals. Decades ago, the market was a collection of butcher shops, grocery stores, etc., and could be described as Gotokuji's kitchen.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Gotokuji Market. In order to make it even more exciting, they have recently been holding events mainly for young people and young stores, and the one introduced here is one of them.

Among the various stores that will be open, HOUYHNHNM's readers are especially recommended to visit the "Godforsaken Toy & Vintage Clothing Store".HoodmartPop-up of the "What's up?

Hoodmart" is a store that sells toys and second-hand clothes that are strongly reminiscent of the times and climate under the theme of "making your base (house/room) the best place in the world.

This time, we have prepared such lovable junk, Christmas ornaments specially ordered by "TAKE TOKYO", and "souvenir sweat" (children/adult sizes available) in collaboration with "IAM", a children's vintage clothing store in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.

By the way, besides "Hoodmart," there are many other contents of interest, such as picture books from Yumemi Bookstore and kids' aprons based on the costume aprons of DJ Misojiru Gohan.

While wandering through the many vintage clothing stores that have opened in the past few years , be sure to stop by Gotokuji Market.
