A little too flashy for me, I will stick to the traditional X-MAS tree.

That doesn't look like a Christmas tree... it looks like a tier cake.

Ginza Tanaka have all sorts of guiant stuff made of gold. Seems like an invitation to some foreign criminal too good to miss.

Oh, yes! It looks so much like a tree, doesn't it? NOT! And, what is the connection with Disney?

You expecting it to go lower?

At the current yen rate it's priced at a little over $4.2 million (US). If the yen rate goes to $1.00 to 100Yen the price drops dramatically to $3.5 Million.

A Mickey Mouse three-tier merry-go-round made out of gold that claims to be a Christmas tree?

Something is askew in Ginza.

Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

The Disney characters sealed the deal for me. I've got to have this, how much is it I wonder?
