Foreign languages are often used in Japan to make things or shops fancier, usually english and french. It's rare to see a shop with such a german name ("precious thing").

Greetings ^^
I was browsing for some more informations in the net about Japan. This is how I found out about your Home Page. I was reading a bit and recognized the "Kostbar Ding" label. I really am laughing ^^ This is so funny, because this is not right to write it like this *laught*. It is the same in Germany, when people are using labels in English, they do the same mistakes in translation ^^ Actually "Kostbares Ding" should be "Kostbarkeiten" that means "Costliness" or "Preciousness". So yeah, Germans who will see it might be laughing heartly when they see this label in future ^^
Thank you for sharing pictures and stories from Kitakami and thanks for your work on your Home Page! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu ^^ http://avatars.imvu.com/Jishaku this is my HP on IMVU. If you wish to, you may visit it anytime ^^
I am German, that's why indeed I laughed heartily!
