Here’s my seasonal collection of vintage (mostly weird) fashion.

Match labels for "Department Store with Elephant

In 1950, "Takako the Elephant" arrived at the rooftop amusement park of the Nihonbashi Takashimaya Department Store and became instantly popular. However, four years later, Takako weighed 1.5 tons. He could no longer endure on the department store rooftop, so he went to the Ueno Zoological Gardens. It is amazing that the elephant could not be carried by crane, but had to be carried down the stairs of Takashimaya Department Store one step at a time!
