Corner general store
In *Maitetsu*, the protagonists pass by this traditional general store at the intersection multiple times. The storefront is filled with daily necessities and snacks, a faded sign hangs under the eaves, and nostalgic toys and stationery are displayed in the glass showcases. On a summer afternoon, sunlight filtering through the trees falls on the steps in front of the shop, where a schoolgirl in uniform bends down to pick an ice pop.
