However, the oil crisis in 1973, the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 caused a series of attacks on the Japanese economy. The days of luxury and luxury in the past have come to an end.

The sluggish economic growth and the high unemployment rate make consumers who buy and buy in the past begin to "save themselves from food and clothing", and sell their luxury goods and idle goods for sale, which also drive the rise and development of the secondhand commodity market.

In the second-hand goods market, there is a special category: Vintage.

Here, culture and fashion are integrated into one place. There are places and scenes where clothes can be bought, clothes can be worn, and can be done every day. "

Although the high round temple is all embracing, there is still a unique sense of distance among the Japanese neighbors: many old stores only provide perfect services for core loyal customers, and feel that they do not welcome new arrivals.

Samuel Thomas said: "there is a certain degree of pride in subculture."
