When I was in Osaka I accidentally stumbled into what looked like a model store. There were all sorts of display cases with all sorts of models, from airplanes from WWII and before to futuristic mecha. All kind of jumbled together without any sort organization by type or manufacturer.

Then it hit me. I was not in a model store but a model display case store. All those hobbyists would need a way to display their models and this store fit just that need.

I know a lady from Osaka who responded, when I said I'd be excited to return there: "Really? It's so boring here!" If she only knew. And to bring it full circle, her sister-in-law hand-makes fake food.
