Yesterday I sent out [this tweet](https://twitter.com/donnelly_b/status/1061131135470592000) about the, relatively new, [Apple store in Kyoto](https://www.apple.com/ca/newsroom/2018/08/apple-kyoto-opens-saturday-on-shijo-dori/). 

It is the first in the city and I like what they did with the facade of the building. It is decidedly modern and yet there are hints of a local vernacular.

Photographer [Jonathan Castellino responded](https://twitter.com/JonoCastellino/status/1061140752544268288) and suggested that I check out the new(ish) Leica store, which is also in Kyoto. 

So here is that store (if you can’t see the video below, [click here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouckkaj3XVc)):

I shoot on the Fujifilm X-T3, but Leica certainly makes some exquisite (and expensive) cameras. The Leica Store Kyoto does not deviate from that recipe.
