(March 5, 2015)
March 5, 2015, Tokyo, Japan - A shop specializing in Japanese socks does business in the same spot since 1849 in the back street of Tokyo's Kobikicho. Only a few blocks from the bustling Ginza shopping district, the Kobikicho neighborhood still retains early Showa era features in some buildings and shops.
