Even at the thrift store, known collectively as recycling shops, which is a more accurate name, there is such cleanliness and organization that defies imagination. All the clothes are featured either by brand, by color or by type (jacket, shirt, t-shirt, etc) and is so easily sorted through (especially if one is looking for a certain kind of item).
The following is an image of the vases and Japanese style pottery that was on offer at the one place that I went to. From a distance, I thought that I hit the lottery, having never seen such a variety on offer (and most likely, at affordable prices) but upon closer inspection, they were more things that were styled in Japanese tradition (not quite Orientalist, but two steps removed), and had none of the depth or love (handicraft) that is exhibited in truly superior (museum quality) pieces. Some of them, it turned out, were not even made in Japan.
