    Tokyo Taito-ku Asakusa 2-3-1
    "The only hobby shop in Japan specializing in small toys from the Edo period is located near the end of Nakamise Shopping Street. It sells miniature toys that originated during the reign of Tokugawa Yoshimune, the eighth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. The small toy animals with humorous expressions came about due to an Edo period ban on luxuries. During the period conspicuous consumption by wealthy merchants became illegal, including large and lavish toys. In response, artisans began making these tiny, elaborate items that made as small as possible or incorporated clever wordplay into their designs. These include little dogs with bamboo baskets referring to the Japanese character for ""laughter"" and red owls whose color is believed to have the power to protect people from evil."
