You never know what you are going to run into…

… at a used clothing store. I snapped this at one of those stores close to the Kichijoji Station (吉祥寺駅). The tshirt is clearly a Pittsburgh Pirates (the baseball team) tshirt but it’s not just that. The design seems to be pretty old though I can’t really verify that right now. I think it is even possible that this tshirt was not made officially or that it was made simply because someone thought the Pirate Parrot was cute.

Seeing the Pittsburgh word made me miss the city though…

The lady with a "clock-embedded" bag

I have seen lots of interesting products in Japan but I was still surprised when I saw this lady walking down the stairs in Kichijoji Station (吉祥寺駅).  As you can see she had a full size clock in her oversized bag - pretty nice one too with stones around the circumference. And the kicker? It was not just a design, it was actually functional. Now I don't know whether or not this is a popular item here but I can tell you that to me, it feels like a Japan-only design....
