I don't know. Whenever I stumble upon interesting information, stuff that I think would be fun to share, then I post it here....as long as it pertains to this blog. Oh, and I must say...Metropolis and Pingmag are my two most favorite resources for cool and interesting information from or about Japan. So, naturally, most of the articles I share mainly come from those two sites.
And that's my lovely introduction just to say that I have brought you another exciting article from...Pingmag! Yay!

Article Title: Design & Mystique of the Japanese School Uniform
Written by: Michael Mahoney
Provided by: Pingmag
Article Snippet:
"The U.K., Malaysia and Ireland have nice school uniforms, but how come Japanese school attire seemingly takes it to another level, leaving the students looking like little sailors and marching band leaders?... ...I’ve been amazed by the variety of uniforms as well as the ways students customise them as far as they are allowed. PingMag shows you interesting details in fashion and the social performance that accompany this apparel to a point where the traditional Japanese school uniform has developed beyond the schoolyard and into pop culture."
