Taiga Bookstore

Next to the Maruichi there is the Taiga Bookstore. It's fun to poke around in there every once in a while.



Zatoichi, the Blind Swordsman! Love this guy. This series was from the 1960's. The premise is that this awesome samurai has lost his sight and as he makes his way through the world he comes across all sorts of appalling characters and, well, dispatches them. This actor, Shintaro Katsu, was the original and the best.



Loads and loads of fashion magazines.



Mao Tse Tung? No, but obviously a politician.....


More fashion.....



Liam Gallagher's leering out from the obligatory music mags.



Double click the image below to see the hilarity. Cool Japan? Uh, okay....



The adult section.........


They sell cute Japanese collectibles as well.



Manga.



And we'll end with a personal fave, Naruto! I am abosutely addicted to the animated series. If you want to watch the latest episodes the same week they air in Japan, click here. Favorite character? Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru are all running neck and neck.
