Kahma Home Center, Musashi, etc are two major chains of home handyman stores. Musashi in particular is massive, and has enough to build your own space shuttle. Just about the one place in Japan I've seen lawnmowers for sale.... Never say "the Japanese don't do XX" as I can guarantee that no matter how obscure XX is, there's a fan magazine published, fan clubs, and dedicated people learning it.... Japanese do do DIY.

I find it strange that the government felt the need to make IKEA change their instructions, though. Does one injury really entail this kind of massive change? Was this just one of many injuries?

I guess Japan has created a better idiot. I’ve always thought that IKEA produced idiot proof furniture (and assembly diagrams that even a moron could decipher).
