Vintage Radio Cassette Recorder Showcase - October 12 (Wed) - November 8 (Tue)



Isetan | Men's Residence 04


We are pleased to present a collection of radio cassette recorders that are sure to evoke a nostalgic "Wow!" From the 1970s to the 1980s, during Japan's period of high economic growth, manufacturers fiercely competed, releasing a succession of new models. While designs and features evolved, time has passed, and these devices have become a rare sight.

We will be showcasing a selection of radio cassette recorders meticulously restored by Junichi Matsuzaki, who began his preservation efforts in 2003. Whether as a decorative interior piece or a cherished player, why not rediscover the joy of listening to those nostalgic tunes, or perhaps your current favorites?

Lately, I've noticed many Halloween-themed sweets and decorations like jack-o'-lanterns and ghosts around town. It's surprising how much more common they are now compared to just a few years ago. I find it quite Japanese how we embrace these occasions as 'events' to enjoy, setting aside their original meanings.

Let's fully embrace autumn by incorporating various events and seasonal foods into our lives, creating a vibrant rhythm!
