Tokyo babes and big black busses
Today is Coming-of-Age Day [Seijin no hi], when everyone who turns the age 20 during the year celebrates official adulthood by dressing up in kimono, listening to dull ceremonies and getting silly drunk.
Coming on second Monday in January, this makes a 3-day holiday weekend here in Japan as I said in my previous 3Yen post, Yoga dog holiday. Local Japanese right-wing crazies—the Uyoku—use this day to harangue the tipsy kimono girls and oblivious-n-goofy guys stumbling wooden geta clogs with their Black Vans’ loudspeakers blaring ultra-nationalist right-wing tripe as you can see the video below by my buddy, “GuyJean.”

Other than my somewhat scary photo above of a Coming-of-Age-Day kimono girl, be sure to see the much better photos photos at NeilDuckett.com.

….Go and ask your elders or Japanese Masters still practising Arts such as Japanese style Wood Cuts and applying colours to make Mount Fuji come alive….
Cite me Japanese Youth aspiring for Nobel Prize,percentage of students at higher education,multicolour tattood Japanese youth gang roaming Tokyo after mid night having after drink brawl,say this is hogwash too,which is not far worse than urinated streets of Japan.
…yes Yakuza/Gokudo for Japan’s underworld as gang leader’s trade mark is good indentification device before the overworked Japanese police arrive on the scene….
