    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."

    昭和の時代には、墨田区の店舗から台東、荒川まで、きびだんごを作る道具箱を付けた自転車を使ってご商売に廻られていました。 子供の頃は、来たことを知らせる太鼓の音が鳴ると、お小遣いを握りしめて走ったものです。 そんな懐かしいきびだんごが浅草のお店で食べると知った時には感動しました。 こちらのきびだんごが、東京下町の本当のお味です。 仲見世にある他店舗のきびだんごは、全く違うものですよ。
