Showa Storytime!! [5][Manga] Department Store Rooftop
In our childhood, department store rooftops were wonderlands with mini amusement parks and zoos. One department store even had a baby elephant for a time.
Advertising balloons floated above every department store rooftop, making it easy to spot which stores were in town at a glance.
Department store rooftops, with their summer beer garden lanterns and illuminations catching the eye. Now, they've become playgrounds for adults.
(Story from a woman in her 60s, living in Tokyo at the time)
