Here at Japan Store we love wagara, which translates as "Japanese pattern". The term covers a wide variety of patterns, from the family crest of a samurai to the colorful flowers of a silk kimono, or the traditional patterns, symbols, and motifs that never go out of style.
In this category we have selected a range of Japanese accessories, many of which feature variations of wagara.
So, I was looking for a good pair of sturdy pants that would last longer than jeans, and then I remembered that this site sold pants as well. As soon as I came across the Toraichi 2530 Series - Chocho Long Hachibun Pants (LL-4L), I already knew I found the best pair money can buy. However, I needed to decide which size would be best for me. After a fair amount of research, as well as help from Google AI, I found the perfect size. Once it arrived, I put it on to test it out and it was a perfect fit! These are the kind of pants that you would most likely see in an old school anime or any kind that has the classic delinquent character. I’ve heard nothing but good things about these pants and I can’t wait to break them in soon. Also, they go well with tabi shoes.

Boarding gate intrigue to obsession
Boarding gates for looming thirteen hour midnight flights can be bleak but not when a young personable Japanese is talking, texting and smiling while displaying casual dexterity with a Kendama. It was, he explained, a Japanese child’s toy. Here on the south coast of England, just short of my 75th birthday, I took delivery of a genuine Ozora Kendama courtesy of Japan Store and Japan Post. I feel it will become an obsession.
