Top book if you live your clothes

A real page turner for anyone obsessed with Japan, Japanese history and Japanese pop culture and fashion. I have read a lot of books like this, on Japanese baseball -- Gotta Have Wa -- and tons on Yakuza and bozozuko -- Speed Tribes is really great. But this one is really well written and tells a great historical story. Learn how Harajuku became what it is today, about the greasers dancing nearby in Yoyogi park, about the history of product fetish magazines, and how Tokyo youth wearing Ivy --Ivy league clothing -- really had no idea of its origins. Most of all, the book teaches that Japanese fashion trends imitate more than blaze new trails -- indeed, that Japan itself, as a whole, since Meji, is a studied imitation of the West. Well done.

Great book about Japanese history of American clothing. Easy to read.
