...or 円谷 英二 (1901-1970), the man who did the special effects for the first Godzilla, created Ultraman and is considered the father of the whole monster movie genre (kaiju/怪獣 or tokusatsu/特撮) was from Sukagawa in Fukushima --there's also a museum about him and his work there. Here, is a stand with products (sake, wine and chocolates) inspired by Tsuburaya and his films at the special shop promoting Fukushima products in Nihonbashi. (Incidentally, these shops from various areas of Japan, are called "antenna shop"/アンテナショップ.)
