Kon and Yoshida spent several days in the spring of 1925 observing passers-by and noting their appearance. The records they compiled together are astonishing in their detail and included verbal and visual descriptions. Here we see the graphical index of their compiled results for what men and women were wearing then on the Ginza. The numbered tags pointing to various articles refer the reader to a catalog detailing the time, place, and number of observations for each article. The percentages at the bottom refer to the proportion of men and women seen wearing western or Japanese clothing. Any ideas why women were still prodominantly seen in Japanese clothes, even on a place as "westernized" as the Ginza? | |
