12:38 : Norm, that spring-like item is for exercising your hands. My late father had to do rehabilitation after an operation and he did his strength exercises for each finger by putting it in his palm then closing each finger as if they were to reach his palm in sequence. Also by gripping it.

I always appreciate how Japanese people tend to take care of their things. I've bought several older items that are pristine. You can regularly find collector's editions of old games complete in the boxes like they were brand new. It warms My heart as someone that used to work at GameStop and would regularly have people bring in games that were loose and scratched up. And it's not like they're doing it to retain some collector's value, they just care for stuff. Maybe they're worried about if their things will turn into tsukumogami.

Speaking as someone who has worked for years at a used record store in California, I totally agree with you. I buy lots of second-hand media when I go to Japan - CDs, DVDs, records, books - and excellent condition is the norm. I've even bought CDs and DVDs that were former rentals, and apart from the rental stickers, they were usually in great shape, too. Also, as we see in this video, companies in Japan tend to package things for shipment EXTREMELY WELL.

That planer at 9:46 is not for wood working. It is actually a fish planer, specifically for bonito flakes and the wooden box below the planer is for catching the fish shavings called Katsuobushi ( 鰹節). The fish are basically cooked for an hour, then smoked and preserved until they are rock hard, and then planed to get the shavings. These shavings are used to make dashi which is a broth used in a lot of japanese cooking, especially for miso soup.

I have ordered candy and snacks from Japan (not subscription boxes) and the packaging every time was top notch to the point that the chips in the bags were all still whole when they arrived to Sweden. That’s insanely well done! I wish our own postal offices were as skilled, or at least a tenth as good xD

That robot toy was very popular in italy at the end of the ‘90s....he's name was Emiglio, advertised as Emiglio is the best if i remember right. There was also a very girly version of it named Martina. They made updated designs through the years and now a vintage one in good conditions is worth more than a hundred bucks depending on the seller .... nice find!!!

Those tiny swords are so cute! I also actually really love those old dress forms. They wouldn't be particularly useful to me because they're definitely way smaller than I am, but antique dress forms just feel nostalgic in the way that heritage and living history museums are. I would absolutely get that tabletop and fill the missing sections with an epoxy resin and faux moss (Many craft mosses that you can find in the US that claim to be real moss are actually lichen that take significantly longer to grow than actual moss, and I don't know how to tell them apart) The SCREAM I SCRUMPT at the Gloomy Bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm such a sucker for Gloomy Bear and I never considered one would ever be seen in a thrift store. They're not particularly old, but they are definitely something that a lot of people collect, so they tend to be sold second hand by the actual owners. Gloomy is a character created by Mori Chack, a graphic designer from Osaka, and is a giant, man eating, pink bear. But there are other color variations of the character like the black one in that store.

The metal spring thing with ceramic end caps looks like an adjustable lid, plate, cookie sheet holder. It stretches to the size of the width of cabinet you wish to store your pot lids or plates or cookie sheets or also hold many of them in a larger cabinet or pantry shelf. It has ceramic ends so the interior of your cabinet does not get scratched up and also so it can be washed. A cork or wooden end cap would fall apart or get water logged over time and not hold the structure of the spring safely any more.

And OH, a brown leather armchair in the second store, it'll go perfect with those cabinets! Oooh, and 9:05 I saw a little robot! I want the robot! I love op-shops. I'm typing as I watch and now I'm at 14minutes, and I'm SO GLAD you found the robot! Haha. OH, you got the robot! I'm so glad. From that 9minutes mark I was "get the robot!" Haha.

@OllamhDrab Год назад
It's maybe an unfortunate side effect of Ebay and other online shopping options having gotten big, it made a lot of stuff in shops be marked up or ...just sold directly online. And high rents made a lot of junkier shops less viable, which can be a bummer for me cause I always liked to fix/repurpose/refinish old stuff and for that you don't want to start with anything too nice. :)

So much nostalgia in this one. We used to have a puzzlebox very similar to the one you bought, though our was a bit different colors and WAY more damaged after having been played with to much. Then there's of course to old phones and maybe most of all the robot. Even though it's not exactly the same model I used to dream about I still remember always seeing a "huge" remote controlled robot it in the toy-ads we got through the mail and imagining who cool it would be to own it. It never went beyond a dream though since it was just to expensive, don't remember if it was about 100 or 200 dollar but either way, in 1980-something that was just an impossible amount for me who wasn't even 10 at the time. Watching this video does give me a bit of an urge to start searching for it around the used market :)
