Hi John,
            The same diversity is very suprising when you go to Japan. for
instance, the Concert and Artist selection department in Tokyo, is located
in their main Kitchen and Bathroom store, not a piano store.  I asked the
reason why, the reason given, it's with in walking distance of the Hotels
and Halls.

The quality of the complete Kitchens and Bathrooms is defintely up market,
complete with custom design services. 
They are even in the resort business.
