The last time I went to Japan I was a young 20 year old still in college. I went and met up with a tour group, took the plunge and got on the plane alone. This trip was life changing in many ways and I am beyond excited to be returning. Due to the nature of the tour schedule we spent less than 24hrs in Osaka, and I've been craving that high ever since. I'm also wondering if one particular store is still there, and where it's located, if anyone has been recently and can maybe help me?
The store has Tie Dye clothes, and from what I remember its down a few steps on one of the shopping streets on the right side? Coming from the area with the running man…my memory may not serve me correctly there, but it was on my right when I entered. The sign is yellow with red writing, its lit up, and roughly translates to "asian clothing and miscellaneous goods". The street to my memory was like an alley, it was possibly covered? The last photo is not great but shows where I probably was. Like I said I was there less than 24hrs so I barely learned where anything was or what it was called.
I know a lot can change in 15 years, and I also look forward to hunting for the store and seeing where I wind up, but any direction would be helpful.
Thank you to anyone that can help!

The logo like thing in the bottom middle of the second pic is a stylized version of the kanjis 楽居風 and while forced, they read “raifu” (life). That’s very likely the name of the store. Couldn’t find any place in Osaka with that name after a quick search though. Good luck, hopefully it’s still out there
Last pic is definitely the Sennichimae shopping area, here’s roughly where:

I lived in and around Osaka 28+ years ago…that city will always have my heart!
