DRESS IN JAPAN

Before they are old enough to put on the uniform of the salary men, the young Japanese opt for the most eccentric selection of fancy dress. Among young girls in Tokyo for ex;, the “gothic soubrette” is n absolute “must” in style!
At the other end of the spectrum, around the age of 60, the Japanese might go for the most coloured and gaudy outfits, maybe a return to childhood?
And dressing in a traditional kimono is a true obstacle course which is completed by tying the Obi, the fourth sash of the outfit and jewel in the crown of Japanese textile art. We discover that the most erotic ‘décolleté’ in Japan is… the one baring the nape of the neck.
