Uno shōtengai (商店街?) è una specie di centro commerciale tipico del Giappone. È il luogo dedicato agli acquisti di generi alimentari, allo shopping, alla ristorazione, all'intrattenimento ed altre attività sociali. Rappresenta anche un punto di ritrovo per la popolazione[1] paragonabile ai mercati italiani, dove ci si ferma volentieri per una chiacchierata.

Caratteristiche

Gli shōtengai si trovano in quasi tutti i quartieri e cittadine giapponesi,[1] e variano in dimensioni, forma e lussuosità a seconda delle circostanze. Si sviluppano su strade strette e lunghe,[1] di solito nelle vicinanze di una stazione ferroviaria; i negozi si susseguono l'un l'altro e si diffondono anche nelle vie laterali. La maggior parte delle vie principali sono coperte con dei lucernari[1] a sezione rotonda o triangolare, e si possono considerare simili alle gallerie commerciali occidentali, anche se non ne hanno la pomposità e le dimensioni. Quasi tutti gli shōtengai, in particolare quelli coperti, sono isole pedonali.

I negozi sono quasi sempre piccoli ed a conduzione familiare, che resistono alla concorrenza spietata dei punti vendita della grande distribuzione.[1] Uno dei segreti della sopravvivenza di questo tipo di commercio, è quella forma di familiarità che si è creata tra acquirenti e commercianti, che si intrattengono amabilmente a chiacchierare, un tipo di rapporto che è sempre più raro nelle grandi città,[1] specialmente tra i discretissimi giapponesi, amanti della privacy. La maggior parte degli esercizi vende generi alimentari, spesso proprie specialità, ma lungo l'estensione dell'intero shōtengai, che a volte raggiunge diversi chilometri, si possono trovare negozi specializzati in ogni tipo di prodotto e servizio. Vi sono molti ristoranti, supermercati medio-piccoli, pachinko (frequenti sale da gioco giapponesi stipate di modernissime slot machine), barbieri, farmacie, lavanderie ecc.[1]

Sopraffatti dalla concorrenza, gli shōtengai sono oggi in diminuzione, ma riescono a resistere grazie all'orgoglio ed allo spirito di solidarietà che si è venuto a creare tra venditori e clienti nel preservare la tradizione,[1] secondo la quale una passeggiata nello shōtengai equivale ad una passeggiata nella piazza cittadina.
