Japanese Etiquette & Tradition, 4/05/10, Period 5
Screw it. Between the holiday, the invasion last weekend, and changing his best friend's diapers a few weeks before, Algren had pretty much taken his syllabus, cut it into a perfect square, and then used it to fold an origami toilet.
Which he then went and flushed.
"This weekend, we'll be talking about Japanese fashion subculture," he said after the students had filed into the danger shop. "After the past semester and a half, you're already acquainted with the kimono," all too well, considering his song and dance number a few weeks ago, "and I won't bore you too terribly with talk of hakama and yukata. Today, you're going shopping."
The scenario loaded, and now they were standing on a bustling streetcorner in the middle of Tokyo's Shibuya district. Tall buildings, bright lights, and billboards as far as the eye could see were the backdrop, today. And, milling around them, were people who seemed to be hell-bent on representing every walk of life imaginable.
"Your mission today is to go shopping around Shibuya, and try to emulate the modern fashions that you can see wandering about. Don't be afraid to go a little crazy. Odds are that here, nobody is likely to stare." A pause. "Unless you want them to."
[Open!]
