Dandy in the underworld

[imomus]

It's the last day, alas, of this Japan trip. Tomorrow I fly back to Berlin, and today I'm heading up to Kyoto to see Doddodo in concert. It's been a gorgeous six weeks, in which I've seen amazing sights and also tried to provide an amusing visual spectacle to my hosts, the people of the enchanted archipelago. Today, in retrospect and celebration, I'm offering a selection of the ludicrous outfits I've been wearing.




















Thank you, Japan! For the clothes, the experiences, the inspiration! See you soon!

What is that caramel half top mini-cape(?) that you're wearing in a few photos? Where did you get that and what/who is it originally meant for?

It's something I found at a shop on an Osaka arcade the other day, a sort of chanchanko-top worn I think mostly by old ladies with cold homes. It cost 1250 yen, which is about ten euros. Apparently there's a comedian who wears one to look mean, tight and cheap.

He's, like, proud of how stingy-minded he is; he has to be from Osaka himself, the "kechi" capital of Japan.
