Daiso Japan

In the U.S. there are dollar stores. In Japan they have hyakkin, or one coin shops. One of the larger chains is called Daiso of which one happens to reside in Hayward, CA.
 

Large, prominent lettering invites visitors into a Japanese goods filled Walmart.

Daiso is well organized for the amount of Japanese goods the store actually contains.

A colorful stack of pillows.

Matching colored straws for the fully color coordinated.

Small erasers are a common collectible in Japan. They come in a variety of shapes and colors.

I couldn't ask Sarina and Jennifer to wear more vidid colors!

Jennifer shows off a matching hat.

Sets of colorful ash trays adorn the shelves at Daiso.
