Origin of Ikebukuro

Have you ever thought about why Ikebukuro is called Ikebukuro???
This question has come to my mind during the first time I arrived here
The kanji for Ikebukuro literally means 池:pond 袋:bag.

Well, if I found this bag in the pond, i would be very excited! haha

After doing some research, it seems that there are several origins of the name of the place.
The first is that in the northeastern part of the village there was a lake shaped like someone holding a bag.
The second is that there were once a large number of lakes in the area of various sizes (thus implying a bag full of lakes).
The third is that long ago a turtle came out of the lake carrying a bag on its back.

I am not sure which one is correct, but I'm sure that there are Vitton bags everywhere in Ikebukuro.........'s department stores! hahaha

Have you also seen a statue of an owl in the station?

It's name is Ikefukuroh(pond owl), which is a cold joke...( ̄▽ ̄;)
Ikebukuro--->Ikefukuroh....

A brandnew electrical store, LABI1(Yamada Denki) just opened.
Since my computer is too old, I went there to find a new one.
It was a huuuge shop.
Especially, the computer section is very huge and they have many different types of computer. These years, computer is getting cheaper and cheaper. I found one with at 25,000yen with basic functions. When I got my first computer about 10 years ago, it was about 200,000yen.

Recently, Ikebukuro is called the 2nd electrical city next to Akihabara. Besides Yamda denki, we have several Bic camera and Sakuraya in Ikebukuro.
If you are looking for some electrical items, please have a look.
You probably can find a good one.
