Description
The Matsuzakaya Department Store was founded in 1611 and is the oldest chain store in the world. When the store in Ueno was updated, a guide to it was printed in paper layers. Each of the eight layers show, in line drawings, what can be found on that floor. The brochure boasts the building is earthquake and fire resistant. A food court is in the basement. Another practical ad that will probably be kept and referred to.
