Kappabashi was sensory overload (in the best way) for me.  I love some extreme visual stimulation.  The most intense presentations of hyper-specificty.  It is visually stimulating in a way that makes you want things you have never desired in your life to the extent of compulsion.  You want many of something, all colors, different sizes, you want all of them, all.  Seeing so many of one specific item, but in every possible iteration of that one item is extraordinarily compelling.  I found it hard not to photograph things in close-up.  Kappabashi begs you to love each little store for its micro-focus.  It also represents the best of "that".  It's like finding nirvana.
