Takashimaya's Kashiwa store marks 30 years of its craft-vendor exhibition
Takashimaya's Kashiwa branch runs its Japan traditional-crafts fair for a 30th year, a Chiba department store's bet that curated culture, not price, is what keeps a regional customer coming back.
Takashimaya's Kashiwa store, northeast of Tokyo in Chiba, is running the 30th edition of its Japan traditional-crafts exhibition from September 2 to 7, according to the company's press release, a fixture the department store has kept on its calendar for three decades.
