My latest story for Asia Times: Ten-yen stores capture deflation dilemma

Here is my latest story for Asia Times published today. If you have time, please go over this.

    Hi. Thanks much for your comments. In Kanagawa, that 10-yen shop has a couple of branches such as in Fujisawa City. Please see the following link. There are maps to go to each branch.
