Author Philomena Keet and photographer Yuri Manabe accompany the reader to Harajuku where high fashion rubs shoulders with hip-hop style; to Shibuya, birthplace of the "gal" and stomping ground for Tokyo's most sophisticated fashionistas; to hipster hangout Daikanyama; to the goth and geek meccas of Shinjuku and Ikebukuro; to bohemian Koenji and otaku neighborhood Nakano; to Ginza's lunching ladies and dapper gentlemen; to the cosplay paradise of Akihabara; and to the narrow lanes of East Tokyo, where everyday Japanese fashion gets a traditional touch. Each chapter is packed with photographs of young fashionistas captured as they go about their daily lives, with info-rich captions, and insightful text giving the background to the trends and tribes featured.

Download or read book Adventure in Suicide written by Frank Robert Vivelo and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A disturbing, provocative novel about the search for meaning and purpose. It follows one man’s attempt to find his “place” in the world and expands to provide a general perspective on the human condition. Adventure in Suicide incorporates in one volume all the issues found in other first-person novels of the what-is-the-meaning-of-life school (chapter one), it provides a response both to these other novels and to the issues they raise about “outsiderism” and the “duality” of human nature (chapter two), and it offers one logical outcome of this resolution (chapter three). Bellow’s Dangling Man, Golding’s Free Fall, Camus’s Stranger, Sartre’s Nausea—what are these books about? With what human predicament are they grappling? To answer these questions, Vivelo’s novel restates the problem in basic form and presents the resolution in simple, blunt terms by a character who has intimately experienced, and worked through, the issues. The unnamed protagonist explores various avenues—physical adventure, sexual indulgence, intellectual and artistic pursuits—in his quest for significance and heightened consciousness. He comes finally to a startling conclusion. Steel yourself for its impact.
