Clothes and jewellery four floors up

Tatsuro Motohashi opened XANADU TOKYO in 2009. In his 2020 interview, he traced the location to its view towards Shinjuku and described climbing four floors without a lift as part of arriving at the shop's imagined paradise. His examples then included KAORU ZHOU's unexpected colour and volume and Phenomena collection's translation of ideas into clothes; these are historical introductions, not present-stock claims.

BLACK TRIANGLE DESIGN currently lists XANADU as a physical stockist. Its maker catalogue gives two concrete starting points: SPIKE & oval chain short necklace links a 1cm-wide oval chain to spikes, with a 10cm adjuster, brass/cow-leather construction and total length 46–57cm, at ¥18,150. SPIKE hat pin broach, ¥9,350, puts a 2.8cm brass spike on a 9.5cm pin for a jacket lapel or beret. Compare a chain around the neck with one small pinned accent. These are maker-online prices; branch colours, stock and prices need confirming.

Walking bands are computed by FOW on the OpenStreetMap surface street network at 80 m/min and drawn as a smoothed approximate area around the streets reached. They ignore exit positions, station interiors, underground passages, signals, slopes and routes inside buildings — not directions; follow on-site signs.
