By the 1980s, it had expanded into a department-store chain across Japan and abroad, with branches at one point in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and China. Since SOGO opened in Hong Kong in 1985, the Causeway Bay flagship store has grown to occupy an entire block, with twelve floors of retail devoted to everything from clothing and homeware to toys and massage chairs. A beauty salon and a bookstore operate under the guise of a members’ club on the upper floors, while a food hall occupies the basement, following the conventional Japanese department-store layout. From the start, SOGO advertised itself as a Japanese-style one-stop shop for a fashionable and high-quality lifestyle, differentiating itself by featuring cutting-edge local designers such as Judy Mann and William Tang alongside international brands. ",[],{},{"nodeType":147,"data":2143,"content":2144},{},[2145],{"nodeType":146,"value":2146,"marks":2147,"data":2148},"By virtue of having everything under one roof, SOGO, like all department stores, minimised the friction of going in and out of individual shops and created the feeling of variety within a tightly predetermined selection. The branded architecture of the store encoded both the performative normalcy of shopping as a destination activity – modern, tasteful, and pleasantly purposeless – and the cosmopolitan promise of access – at once aspirational and mainstream – to imported household goods against a strong yen, unlike the local Wing On or the mainland-oriented Yue Hwa. Before the yen’s downward spiral and budget airlines made Japan directly accessible, Japanese retail in Hong Kong offered a delicate balance between novelty and familiarity, an appetite any soft power would envy.
