    Rental-Box Stores in Japan

    Email from a cow-orker in Japan, Kaz Morishita:

    "Rental-box" stores are popping up at various places in Japan. I found this recent trend in Japan interesting. "Rental-box" stores usually have large shelves divided into many square units that are about 1.5' by 1.5'. Any person can rent one square unit for ~$8/mo. to sell whatever s/he wants. Such stores are popping up partially because of empty store spaces due to the bad economy. Typical items sold include hand-made clothes, hand-made candles/soaps, original printed T-shirts, original paintings, photos, CDRs containing original videos, music, etc.

    Links (in Japanese): one, two, three. (My wife Marty points out that these stores have a partial USan counterpart in the craft mall.)
