In Deep with Shotengai - Outside In: Lost in Academia | NHK WORLD-JAPAN Canadian cultural anthropologist Edmund Hoff explores Japan's shotengai. While shopping malls are on the rise worldwide, he uncovers how traditional shopping streets are able to thrive in Japan.

I don't spend all my free time watching NHK World, but they have good documentary series, e.g. 'Outside in: Lost in Academia', about foreign academics in #Japan This one about #shotengai interested me as am mildly obsessed with #streetfurniture & #streetlightdesign www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

Are there any Japanese people in London / Londoners who can share dates of the Shotengai market at Kings Cross in March and April. TIA
