Since 1948, this low-key shop has been a trusted go-to for local construction workers and Do-it-Yourself enthusiasts alike as it’s filled from floor to ceiling with every tool imaginable. We start the morning with Imazono san opening the store and sharing his daily work activities at the hardware store. As part of his morning routine, he cleans up around the shop. In Japan, it’s common practice for businesses to keep the street in front of their store neat and tidy, even if it’s a public road. It’s about more than just cleanliness; it reflects a deep-rooted cultural value of community responsibility and pride in one’s surroundings.
