Nishimura Yuji Shop Tokyo Station

Short on time

A mini-shop for one illustrator: Nishimura Yuji and the Studio UG characters, with books, anime and goods made only for Tokyo Station. An artist's shop rather than a franchise's, which on a corridor of corporate licences is the odd door — and the one whose stock cannot be found in your own country at all.

To know · Small enough to see from the corridor without going in, which is how to decide whether the drawings are for you.

Trap · This is the shop on the street with no foreign recognition at all: nothing here is famous outside Japan, and there is no point pretending otherwise. Come because you like the line, not because you know the name.
