Swedish Foot

Since IKEA opened its first Japanese store in 2006, many Tokyoites have begun to suffer from a condition known as "Swedish Foot". This is a direct result of spending many hours trailing round after your spouse in a vast, warehouse-like store full of flatpack furniture bearing strange Scandinavian names such as Lottsajünk. Sufferers can find relief at this massage place in the subterranean space around Ikebukuro Station, where they will receive - according to the katakana byline (barely visible on the photo) - a "メトロポリタン ハートフルサービス": a "metropolitan heartful service".
