The world’s leading source on Japan news, Fibretofurniture.com, is reporting amazing news today:
Japan : Advent of Ikea Furniture to open passage to the world!
Experts are comparing the arrival of the leading International furniture brand, Ikea, in Japan to that of US Commodore Matthew Perry’s ‘black ships’ in 1853 when the 200 year old isolation of the country ended.
However, it is also viewed by some as an opportunity to spread out and make their presence known to the world.
Ikea opened its first directly operated store in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, just east of Tokyo, covering a floor space of 40,000 square meters.
Swedish furniture house, Ikea offers wide range of styles and home furnishings and boasts reasonable prices.
If the experts consulted when the above article was written are to be trusted, IKEA is going to bring major changes to Japanese society. Japan’s closed-off furniture economy, which remains in the feudal ages, will be overthrown by reformers. Of course, such reforms will not be possible without lots of assassinations and possibly even open warfare. Yes, the coming of IKEA to Japan is an event that will bring great turmoil to this land!
