Japan- A developed nation, much ahead in Technology, wealth and many parameters of Human Development Index(HDI) as compared to India, which is just catching up and even more than China and perhaps most of the European world and even South-East Asian countries. A Japaese Designer store?? - well the word "Designer store" itself would give an impression that the stuff that we would get there would be perhaps a bit elitist, or something out of our range. Yet we have been here three times, and purchased a couple of things- well most of the things are not costly(partly many things are Made in China). And a few are costly but not glass-shattering one. Well, I am not advertising for this store brand, but just describing what I saw and felt. This store is MiniSo . I only wondered that some of the models used did not look like Japanese folks, but it hardly matters as the brand is expanding its international footprint. The website mentioned is www.miniso.jp though I have not checked it. The staff was fine, though due to the weekend rush they seemed to be overwhelmed. Picture: of one of these stores- shot from own camera. It is a nice store and ought to be tried.

It is interesting that even in Japan things are Made in China! (smiling at you) I probably won't be shopping in one of those stores any time soon.

@DaddyEvil I checked this response today only. I can understand, but you might have a few big stores only like Target or may be Walmart? By the way, Walmart has recently bought a big controlling stake in an Indian Ecommerce firm- Flipkart.

@kepweng No No- I just visited a store named "MiniSo" which is a Japanese brand and it has opened two outlets in Malls near our place.

Japan has certainly made a mark for itself as a developed country. I do find some things in Japan a bit weird, but that's not meant to be pejorative. Just an observation.

@porwest each country has certain peculiarities of its own. It is not uncommon.
