Inspired by the stunningly creative street fashion that exploded on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in the late 1990’s, photo-journalist Kjeld Duits launched JAPANESE STREETS in 2002. This makes JS one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the very first to cover Japanese street fashion.

The sweater and the pants together: awesome. I know the description says it’s a T-shirt, but with the long sleeves and wool panel, it sure looks like a sweater. But can someone explain the mask?

@harlexica: You are right, not everything can be categorized so easily. ^_- Masks are a very common sight on Japanese streets (see photo below). People wear them especially when they have a cold, so they don’t infect other people. Many supermarkets even require that their cashiers wear them. Because they are everywhere, they are increasingly becoming a fashion statement, just like any other thing worn.
