Kudamatsu Mall Bunkasai cont'd.

These pictures give a tiny glimpse into the phenomenon of fashion in Japan. Everyone is fashionable in Japan. In one way or another, people dress on purpose. Little kids, grandmothers, they're all rockin' something good when they go out. It is not uncommon for me to see a super-fly young couple grocery shopping together with their super-fly three-week-old baby. This is in stark contrast to my own growing up when I wore faded trackpants with tapered legs well into my senior years in highschool. But I wore them well.

You're never too old to dress young, is the unofficial motto for most contemporary Japanese.




Likewise, you're never too young to dress old(skool). I think I saw a pipe in his breast pocket.
