Last time, in the secret of Mitsukoshi, I mentioned the "Mitsukoshi character" mark of the department store "Mitsukoshi", which was the first in Japan to declare 
a department store in 1937.
This time, it is the secret about Mitsukoshi's symbol 
"Lion Statue".
Manager of time, who laid the foundation for becoming a department store called Mitsukoshi from Mitsui Kimono Store: Mr. Ousuke Hibi loved lions. In 1914, when it became a new five-story reinforcing bar with a Renaissance reinforcing bar, it seems that two lion statues were set up in the hope that "Mitsukoshi" would become the 
king in the department store world.
From here, this is the main subject of this time ...
There are few people who know that Ousuke Hibi's son's name was "Lion" ...
By the way, the kanji is "Lion".
Now, the "Lion Statue", which is popular as a mecca for meeting in Ginza, Nihonbashi, also had such an episode.
This information can also be found in the materials of Mitsui Public Relations Committee.
The Nihonbashi Main Store is already 
dressed as Christmas.
If you are going out for Christmas,
New Year's gifts, New 
Year's holidays, and New Year's holidays, and if you have the opportunity to see "Lion Statues", please remember this a little.
In addition
,...
Among the "Mitsukoshi Main Store", what I like most is this stained glass sign.
