Used Clothing Afro-Rake

If you’re tired of shopping for run-of-the-mill clothes online, go under the tracks by Ayase Station to discover Afro-Rake. You know you’ve arrived when you spot a huge mural of a ’70s-style character rocking a big afro, plastered over by a black-and-white hip-hop-esque poster of Christina Aguilera. With a gigantic head of hair – much like that in the mural – the shop’s Ayase-born-and-bred owner, Shingo Yamazaki, has been welcoming customers into his small black-walled secondhand shop since 2008.

Afro-Rake holds a tightly packed treasure trove of apparel, including vintage pieces. Worn-in denim, leather jackets and plaid flannels cram in, giving just enough space to move. For the women out there: don't be disappointed that it’s technically a men’s shop, and try some things on – you might find yourself putting together a fire fit before you know it.
