Fashion Week A/W 2009
The 2009 Autum/Winter collections of the Japan Fashion Week started in Tokyo yesterday. As usual, JAPANESE STREETS is there to bring the shows to you. We actually have two photographers covering the shows this season.
Cosplayers Invade Osaka
March 20 saw the largest public cosplay event Osaka has experienced so far. This year’s Nippon Street Festa Osaka attracted an incredible crowd.
Capsule Tokyo for Men
JAPANESE STREETS asked internet fashion shop Capsule Tokyo to put together some suggestions for 2009 spring fashion for men. Capsule Tokyo came up with three cool styles: Onikei Street, Urban Punk and Smart Attitude.
Hyper-Low Bikini-Pants
First showing up on TV about a year ago, Jeans Bikini-Pants made by Tokyo based fashion brand Sanna’s have been getting an increasing amount of attention in Japan. The Brazil made pants expose more than people are used to.
Harajuku Night in London
London based Criminal Records UK is hosting the second night of their new residency, Harajuku, on Friday, February 27.
Nipponbashi Cosplay Matsuri
Layered reports that Nipponbashi Cosplay Matsuri, also known as Nippon Street Festa Osaka, one of Osaka’s largest public cosplay events, will take place on March 20.
Love my Cell Phone Strap
Japanese mobile phones undoubtedly stand out in the crowd. But what makes them truly unique is the incredible heavy usage of straps. Each phone is actually designed with a hole specifically for straps.
10 J-Goods for the Holidays
It is the holiday season! I had a good browse in our brand new JAPANESE STREETS store to look for some cool goods from Japan for you to give, receive, or buy for yourself (why wait?).
Selling a Bit of Japan
Japanese pop culture is slowly but surely eating away the cultural stronghold that the US has kept for more than half a century. From manga to animated movies to food, Japanese influence is increasing worldwide.
Buy J-Fashion Mags Online
Recently lots of people have been asking us where to buy the Japanese fashion magazines that we list in our directory. Here is a brief list of places where you can buy them online.
Japanese Streets Store
We often get questions about where a specific clothing item can be bought, where to buy Japanese fashion magazines, or how to get a particular cool anime character. Now you can get them at the Japanese Streets Store!
Naked Tokyo:2008
Naked Tokyo is an international collective of photographers who apply their signature styles to interpreting Japan’s capital by revealing a small sliver of the Naked Tokyo within.
Tokyo 135˚
The Tokyo 135˚ shop is hidden away on the second floor in a small building on a back street of Harajuku. If you don’t know it is there, you’ll most probably never find it. You’d miss out on Harajuku’s best modern kimono shop.
