Ex-Wrestler, General And Diet Member To Open
Stores In Shibuya Shopping Center

    Takashi Tokoyama, managing director of the Shinwa-gumi Company, known as Musashiyama when he was one of the most popular champion wrestlers of the country, will soon open a little shop dealing in hardware along Dogenzaka Street, shopping center of Shibuya Ward, Jiji Press reported.
    Side by side with Musashiyama's hardware store will be another shop selling toilet goods to be managed by a daughter of former Lieutenant General Ritsuhei Ogisu, who commanded an army which stormed into Nanking in December 1937.
    Next to Ogisu's will be a delicatessen to be kept by former Major General Tokutomi Tada, who was with the army at Palau Island throughout the Pacific war.
    Adjoining the retired general's shop will be a grocery to be opened by Shichiroku Tanabe, former member of the Diet from Yamanashi Prefecture.
    A new row of some 50 shops is being built along Dogenzaka to be opened early this month and those mentioned above are among them. Included in the same row are three grocery stores to be run by workers' unions of the Shibuya Government Railroad Station, Shibuya Ward Office and Shibuya Government Revenue Office.
