If you are a skier, which of your gear would you consider the most instrumental in your success on the slopes? You might be tempted to say your skis or helmet — but without the right boots, you would probably struggle to steer yourself as you ski.

Many a high-end brand has been seeing strong sales in Japan lately. However, this is not quite the unequivocal cause for celebration that some observers might initially imagine it to be.

As recently reported by Yahoo! Finance, tourists have been heading to Japan in big numbers with a particular goal on their minds: splurging on desirable clothes and handbags at prices somewhat lower than those to which they are accustomed back home.
