Outside the 45rpm store was a hand-written sign that read, 4545 Omatsuri (festival)...
I wonder if that means they've started their sale...
Ooo look at this! I tried on a big fluffy coat and it was love at first wear.
Oh no, but I want this too and this and this and this!!!
Desires are endless!
Turns out the omatsuri was a mochi-making party. Out in the little back yard, the staff were pounding away and rolling the gooey mass into little balls.
I was served warm tea and a piece with kinAko (soybean powder) dusted on top. Yummy! Thank you!
45rpm's clothes have a worn, warm look and feel to them. Attention is payed to material and process.
You can read more about the production process here, and also go in and have a look for yourself.
The store is located in a beautiful two-story building on the south side of Sanjo between Takakura and Sakaimachi. Upstairs is the Hernri Cuir shop. Two peas in a pod.
