Marubelldo, Photography shop in Asakusa, Japan
Marubelldo occupies a storefront along the Shin-Nakamise shopping street, offering photography services and equipment to professionals and enthusiasts.
Founded on May 5, 1921, the shop survived both the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II air raids to continue its photographic legacy.
The shop created the recognizable Marubell pose during the 1980s, where celebrities photographed with hands near their faces became a standard in Japanese entertainment.
The establishment operates from 11 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays and 10:30 AM to 6 PM on weekends, with advance reservations needed for photo sessions.
The walls display bromide photographs of over 3000 stars from Japanese entertainment history, including 1980s icons Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda.
