uniglo



I came across Uniqlo during a trip to Tokyo last year. They specialize in simple, reasonably priced (for Japan at least) clothing for men and women. Unfortunately my less than Japanese physique was unable to comfortably fit into any of the clothes although I did almost purchase a scarf. Fortunately I somehow came across their site and the Uniqlock which is shown above. For the full experience make sure to turn on the sound at the bottom of the widget.
