Opening statement

Keeping in mind that I have 3 months to travel through Japan I'm trying to restrain myself on the amount of 'treasures' I gather along the way.

You see for me, there's a story behind discovering and adopting each pre-loved item. And every time I wear it, it takes me back to the place and moment of victory!

So far I've by-passed all the department stores and multi-malls. But with flea market/garage sales, 390Yen shops and vintage shops teasing me to find that special souvenir to remember the place by, I can hardly resist.

In honour of all the various new pieces I adopt along the way I will keep a blogument of where they were found and their story.
