Lordly Tailor is the fanciest and most expensive department store in all of Los Angeles. It has been in existence since 1818.[1] It was the home of the Treasures of Kurain exhibit, featuring the Sacred Urn of Kurain Village. The department store consists of at least 12 floors, with the 12th one having a restaurant.

Name[]

  • Japanese - Kōhishiya Dai Tenji-ba (高菱屋大展示場) // Kōhishiya Exhibition Center
    • The name could be a play on the Takashimaya Company, Limited (株式会社髙島屋), a multinational organization famous for its retail department stores, and the Tokyo Big Sight (東京ビッグサイト), otherwise known as Tokyo International Exhibition Center (東京国際展示場), the largest exhibition center in Japan.
      • With regards to Takashimaya, the "taka" part is read as "kō", while the "hishi" part, in this case, would mean diamond (or rhombus) in reference to the rhombus motif surrounding its logo. Moreover, "dai" could be an allusion to "Big" in the latter's namesake.
    • The kanji in the name 高菱屋 can be read as "Takabishiya", which is likely a reference to the phrase Takabisha (高飛車) meaning extravagant, high-maintenance, probably in regards to its customer base.
  • English - Lordly Tailor:
    • The name could come from Lord and Taylor, the oldest upscale, specialty-retail department store chain in the United States. "Lordly Tailor" itself is a combination of "lordly" and "tailor". This would make the department store literally "a tailor suitable for a lord".
  • French - Galeries de France:
    • The name of this department store is "Galeries de France", which translates as "Gallery of France".

Unofficial[]

  • Brazilian Portuguese - Galeria Líder: [2]
    • The name refers to a large department store present in several Brazilian states.
    • The name "Líder" also reinforces the idea of being a refined and frequented place.
