What Isetan Mitsukoshi does

Operates Japan's leading upscale department stores, Isetan and Mitsukoshi.

Earns most by keeping a share of what brands sell in its stores under consignment arrangements, so it bears little inventory risk, plus card and property income. The Tokyo flagships, including Shinjuku and Nihonbashi, carry the business, and foreign tourists' duty-free spending is a swing factor. Formed by the 2008 merger of Isetan and Mitsukoshi.

In one line: Japan's Nordstrom/Neiman Marcus.
