Fuchu
Fuchu Furniture
A wedding-furniture town where the trades divide the work and compete on the precision of the joinery.

Bingo Kasuri
One of Japan's three great kasuri districts; its toughness made it workwear, and the town later turned to denim.

An island once erased from maps; the concrete remains of its poison-gas works are kept, overgrown, as record.
