	The New Yorker: Fact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Takeshita Street, in the Harajuku district of Tokyo, is the equivalent of Eighth Street in New York: it is a narrow commercial passageway, crammed with stores selling imported Levi's, baby-doll T-shirts, and platform boots that have all the charm of medical appliances.
		On the weekends, Takeshita Street is mobbed by thousands of fashion-conscious Japanese youths: boys who parade around in slouchy hip-hop clothes, and girls who wear thrift-store-style dresses layered over bluejeans, a look that really works only if you weigh less than ninety pounds, which most of them seem to.
		At the Bathing Ape store just off Takeshita Street, where T-shirts are displayed like prints in an art gallery, sandwiched between sheets of clear plastic, half the display cases are empty, since the company might produce only five hundred of any particular T-shirt design.

		It was the 5th concentrated event that the group "kisouzoku" (1), whose motto was "fashion, not war; flowers, not stones" organized back in 1968.
		Furthermore, first-magnitude commercial successes of the Japanese capital as Tokyu Hands, Takeshita Street, and Q-Front, count among his team's three hundred and some other diverse projects, which include product design and development, exhibition planning, and mass media activities (2).
		The architects set the concave curvature of the membrane facing the viewer's position and this criterion (curve inside the shop at the street level, curve outside the shop in the upper levels) is respected throughout the building process, in which the shelf function of the façade is abandoned.

	egl: A Useful Resource... Where Are The Used Clothing Shops???
		I actually have more of a visual/punk style so Takeshita street is my favorite place.
		The entrance is along the little side street, and there's an elevator you can take to the fifth floor.
		The merchandise there struck me as not in very good condition--I was expecting things to be immaculate and like-new, like at a fancy consignment shop, but the cotton sweet-lolita skirts and dresses, in particular, looked limp and rumpled, like they'd been machine-washed repeatedly, and the T-shirts looked obviously used, despite their 3000-5000 yen price tags.

		We had walked up and down both sides of the street, and I had gotten a good idea of the camera I wanted, but I was looking for a really good deal, and finally I got it in a little shop where the manager gave me the “nice face” discount.
		We walked down a street lined with all the upscale joints to Harajuku station where there was a massive throng of people gathered for some kind of festival.
		It was fully dark and we were both exhausted by the time we made it back to the subway, and again because I had forgotten to get a map of the area we were unable to find the used bookstore I was looking for.

		Harajuku may be somewhat familiar to tourists these days, thanks in part to the lyrics of Gwen Stefani, the pop diva, but many visitors see no more of the neighborhood than Takeshita Street, the pedestrian alley populated by crepe makers and gothic clothing shops that starts across the street from the local train station.
		The real action, however, is at the other end of the street, across a broad avenue called Meiji-dori.

		The center of teenage culture and shopping is an area called Harajuku, especially the street called Takeshita-dori.
		Be sure to get off into the really interesting back streets around this area.
		The shopping street (and side streets off of it, which also have soem traditional vendors making their own goods, like baking rice crackers over an open wood fire) leading to Senjosi Temple will most likley keep them very happy, and that area will provide culture for you and your wife as well.
