...West. Housed in a block-long, four-story building with just touches of Japanese decor-a cluster of lanterns, an occasional screen and a few Nisei girls in geisha costume-Seibu of Los Angeles is essentially an American store with all the usual U.S. retailing gimmicks, including a two-deck parking garage and a roof-garden restaurant with bar.
