Tokyo

went to walk a bit in Akihabara this afternoon 🌞 🚶🗼

🥲Something sad: The weak yen is fueling a mass buyout of Japan’s otaku artifacts, with foreign collectors wiping out shops and reselling treasures overseas. Cultural extraction in real time.

Pretty sad to see all these cultural artifacts going abroad.

😢 Japans gotta do something about resellers
