The fashionable, eccentric pedestrians of Tokyo are captured with hundreds of portrait photographs in this fun guide to Tokyo street fashion. Tokyo is considered one of the world's style capitals for its vibrant youth fashion culture. Part guide book, part fashion photography album, Tokyo Fashion City takes a stroll through eight Tokyo neighborhoods, each with its own unique fashion characteristics, to see what streetwise young Tokyoites are wearing, where they're shopping, what they're eating and drinking, and where they're hanging out. Author Philomena Keet and photographer Yuri Manabe accompany the reader to Harajuku where high fashion rubs shoulders with hip-hop style; to Shibuya, birthplace of the "gal" and stomping ground for Tokyo's most sophisticated fashionistas; to hipster hangout Daikanyama; to the goth and geek meccas of Shinjuku The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular Ikebukuro; to bohemian Koenji and otaku neighborhood Nakano; to Ginza's lunching ladies and dapper gentlemen; to the cosplay paradise of Akihabara; and to the narrow lanes of East Tokyo, where everyday Japanese fashion gets a traditional touch. Each chapter is packed with photographs of young fashionistas captured as they Sidewalk to Catwalk about their daily lives, with info-rich captions, and insightful text giving the background to the trends and tribes featured.

Not only does she profile specific youth subcultures concentrated in a few celebrated districts, but she also turns a lens on the rest of Tokyo society. Not only does it have lovely pictures of some of the citizens of Tokyo, it has wonderfully descriptive paragraphs about where they got their clothes and accessories from, and sometimes information about the people themselves. There is even a section at the back with the addresses, phone numbers and web sites of the shops where the clothes came from. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a passion for modern Japan, fashion and culture. You really get a good look behind the scenes of the many different styles I admire so much :D Also you feel just like one of those "models" yourself, 'cause most of these pictures aren't shoot professional and aren't photoshopped!!! First, unlike the majority of the other book-length color photo essays, it includes males. It's The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular just a collection of preteen and teenage fashion-crazed Japanese girls. Secondly, unlike its competition, it actually has some text explaining the history of the various fashion trends and fads illustrated in the book. That's useful information since for foreigners and The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular outsiders it's not always easy to see just how the various fashion styles actually differ especially since some of them are amalgamations of several trends. Some times the differences are really quite subtle. Definitely unlike most of the other books on the youth culture fashions, this The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular includes lots of close-ups of details such as elaborate fingernail decoration and individual fashion accessories. This reviewer very much enjoyed the book except that some of the type fonts and layout styles made it unnecessarily hard to read quickly. I personally detest having to turn the book horizontal The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular some of the captions run up and down the sides of some of the vertical pictures. I'm also one of those people that never liked to turn "Playboy" sideways to better examine its centerpiece, so I'm an equal opportunity criticizer on that type of layouts. Otherwise this is an excellent guide to Tokyo Fashions for the teenage subcultures as well as the over-the-hill, aged thirty plus fashionistas who look wonderful in their more classic toned down fashions. The types of kimonos and elaborate hair styles typically worn during the "Coming-of-age Day, a national holiday in early January to honor all those who attained the age of 20 in the previous year" were quite lovely and harkened back to the ancient, colorful woodblock prints showing Feudal Japan. One of the kimonos pictured cost the young wearerYen. The Goth to Gyaru look kimonos are often updated with modern purses or other accent items. Another good book on these fashion subcultures is "Style Deficit Disorder: Harajuku Street Fashions-Tokyo" which also includes a decent amount of informative and helpful text but is more limited in the number of different fashion styles covered. This is the best over-all fashion guide that this reviewer has so far located. Tokyo is home to the most creative and stylish fashion in the world. The Tokyo Look Book takes us on a dazzling journey through the streets, clubs, and boutiques of this trendsetting city to introduce us to the people who wear the latest fashions Sidewalk to Catwalk the people who make them. Crammed with cool, full-color photographs of Tokyo's trendy teens and twenty-somethings captured candidly Goth to Gyaru they work and play, this is a comprehensive look at the richly varied fashion scenes that thrive in Japan's capital city -- from the "gal" mecca of Shibuya, to the goths and cosplayers who hang out on Jingubashi bridge on Sundays, through the cutting-edge kids on the Harajuku backstreets, to Sidewalk to Catwalk stylish young professional men and women on Omotesando Boulevard. Yuri Manabe's distinctive photographic portraits are complemented by insightful text from British anthropologist and fashion expert Philomena Keet, who offers witty and informative background information on each of the fashion scenes introduced, Goth to Gyaru a plethora of soundbites and quotes from the featured fashionistas.

    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning Fashion Subcultures in Japan A multilayered history of street fashion in Japan Ritgerð til BA-prófs í japönsku máli og menningu Inga Guðlaug Valdimarsdóttir Kt: 0809883039 Leðbeinandi: Gunnella Þorkellsdóttir September 2015 1 Abstract This thesis discusses the history of the street fashion styles and its accompanying cultures that are to be found on the streets of Japan, focusing on the two most well- known places in Tokyo, namely Harajuku and Shibuya, as well as examining if the economic turmoil in Japan in the 1990s had any effect on the Japanese street fashion. The thesis also discusses youth cultures, not only those in Japan, but also in North- America, Europe, and elsewhere in the world; as well as discussing the theories that exist on the relation of fashion and economy of the Western world, namely in North- America and Europe. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the possible causes of why and how the Japanese street fashion scene came to be into what it is known for today: colorful, demiurgic, and most of all, seemingly outlandish to the viewer; whilst using Japanese society and culture as a reference. Moreover, the history of certain street fashion styles of Tokyo is to be examined in this thesis. The first chapter examines and discusses youth and subcultures in the world, mentioning few examples of the various subcultures that existed, as well as introducing the Japanese school uniforms and the culture behind them. The second chapter addresses how both fashion and economy influence each other, and how the fashion in Japan was before its economic crisis in 1991.

  • “Down the Rabbit Hole: an Exploration of Japanese Lolita Fashion”
    “Down the Rabbit Hole: An Exploration of Japanese Lolita Fashion” Leia Atkinson A thesis presented to the Faculty of Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies in the Program of Anthropology with the intention of obtaining a Master’s Degree School of Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Leia Atkinson, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 Abstract An ethnographic work about Japanese women who wear Lolita fashion, based primarily upon anthropological field research that was conducted in Tokyo between May and August 2014. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how and why women wear Lolita fashion despite the contradictions surrounding it. An additional purpose is to provide a new perspective about Lolita fashion through using interview data. Fieldwork was conducted through participant observation, surveying, and multiple semi-structured interviews with eleven women over a three-month period. It was concluded that women wear Lolita fashion for a sense of freedom from the constraints that they encounter, such as expectations placed upon them as housewives, students or mothers. The thesis provides a historical chapter, a chapter about fantasy with ethnographic data, and a chapter about how Lolita fashion relates to other fashions as well as the Cool Japan campaign. ii Acknowledgements Throughout the carrying out of my thesis, I have received an immense amount of support, for which I am truly thankful, and without which this thesis would have been impossible. I would particularly like to thank my supervisor, Vincent Mirza, as well as my committee members Ari Gandsman and Julie LaPlante. I would also like to thank Arai Yusuke, Isaac Gagné and Alexis Truong for their support and advice during the completion of my thesis.

    Child’s Play? Exploring the Significance of Kawaii for Decora and Fairy-Kei Fashion Practitioners in Harajuku through a Case-Focused Analysis MEGAN CATHERINE ROSE UNSW Sydney and The University of Tokyo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7741-854X ABSTRACT Literature that explores alternative kawaii (‘cute’; ‘adorable’) fashion associated with Harajuku, Japan, argues that it is an infantile practice in which practitioners seek to reject adult thoughts, feelings and responsibility through childish mannerisms and dress. These understandings ofkawaii fashion, however, are formed without input from practitioners themselves.

The socio-economic phenomenon as seen in Japanese men’s fashion magazines Mariusz KOSTRZEWSKI1, Wojciech NOWAK2 1 Warsaw University of Technology, Poland 2 Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland Abstract: Visual aesthetics represented in Western media by the name of “Japanese style”, is presented from the point of view of women’s fashion, especially in the realm of pop-culture. The resources available for non- Japanese reader rarely raise the subject of Japanese men’s fashion in the context of giving voice to self- expression by means of style and clothing. The aim of this paper is to supplement the information on the socio- economic correlation between the Japanese economy, fashion market, and self-expression of Japanese men, including their views on masculinity and gender, based on the profile of Japanese men’s fashion magazines readers. The paper presents six different fashion styles indigenous to metropolitan Japan, their characteristics, background and development, emphasizing the connections to certain lifestyle and socio-economic occurrences, resulting in an emergence of a new pattern in masculinity – the herbivorous man, whose requirements and needs are analyzed considering his status in the consumer market and society.

  • Popular Culture As Social Practice
    2020 Spring Semester Popular Culture as Social Practice Fandoms, Subcultures, and the Rest of Us Instructor/Title Jeffry T. Hester, Ph.D. Office/Building 3329 Office Hours Mon., 6:20~6:50; Fri., 12:30~1:00 p.m., and by appointment Contacts (E-mail) [email protected] 【Course Outline / Description】 The aim of this course is to investigate the relationship between the consumption of popular cultural products (objects, images, discourses and practices) and social life in Japan, based primarily on perspectives from cultural anthropology and cultural studies. The primary focus will be on fandoms, subcultures and identities shaped through contemporary consumption practices. In this course, we will critically explore selected topics from the broad field of popular culture in Japan, with a focus on the relationships between cultural products, consumption practices, and social norms, practices, and tensions within Japanese society. We will briefly discuss the historical development of popular cultural industry in Japan, followed by the recent emergence of a discourse on “cool Japan.” Most of the course will be devoted to exploring specific fandoms, subcultures or cultural categories constructed around consumption practices such as otaku, the dôjinshi world and fujoshi female consumers of male-male eroticism, J-rappers, gyaru, visual-kei fans and the legendary fans of the Takarazuka Revue. Fans’ creative “play” with norms of gender and sexuality will be a theme running throughout the course. We will also explore questions of creativity and self-expression, constructions of “deviance,” and the role of popular culture in resistance to, or reinscription of, dominant norms. We will also follow the global circulation of cultural products to and from Japan as they slip out of the original contexts of production, are adapted to local contexts and given new meanings and social effects.

  • Lolita Fashion, Like Other Japanese Subcultures, Developed As a Response a to Social Pressures and Anxieties Felt by Young Women and Men in the 1970S and 1980S
    Lolita: Dreaming, Despairing, Defying Lolita: D, D, D J New York University a p As it exists in Japan, Lolita Fashion, like other Japanese subcultures, developed as a response a to social pressures and anxieties felt by young women and men in the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than dealing with the difficult reality of rapid commercialization, destabilization of society, n a rigid social system, and an increasingly body-focused fashion norm, a select group of youth chose to find comfort in the over-the-top imaginary world of lace, frills, bows, tulle, and ribbons that is Lolita Fashion. However, the more gothic elements of the style reflect that behind this cute façade lurks the dark, sinister knowledge that this ploy will inevitably end, the real world unchanged.

How to Get an American Boyfriend: Japanese Women and Westernization An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in The Center for International Studies. By Nicole Puckett Under the mentorship of Dr. Darin H. Van Tassell ABSTRACT Since the end of World War II, and even more so since the 1980’s, Japanese women have been gaining more and more independence through jobs and international experience. Part of this move towards liberation can be seen in how brand-focused many Japanese girls and women are and the overt manner in which they try to express themselves in typically western ways. This report will focus on Japanese women and how they try to make themselves appear western as a means of defining their individual identities and how they balance that with their usual prescribed roles as traditionally Japanese mothers and homemakers.

THE FASHION OF FRILL: THE ART OF IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT IN THE ATLANTA LOLITA AND JAPANESE STREET FASHION COMMUNITY by CHANCY J. GATLIN Under the Direction of Emanuela Guano, PhD ABSTRACT The Atlanta Lolita and Japanese Street Fashion Community is a multifaceted fashion community that developed in the early 2000s. The majority of the members wear Lolita fashion which is a fusion of Victorian era dress, Rococo costume, and various Japanese street fashions. Lolita fashion developed on the streets of Tokyo Japan in the 1990s and has since spread across the world. The Atlanta Lolita and Japanese Street Fashion Community heavily relies on the building and maintenance of impressions by its members. In this thesis, I analyze face-to-face and virtual community organization, fashion, and photography to illustrate how members of the community build their impressions, how they are maintained, or how they are threatened.
