Another cultural export from Japan



After making its mark with Anime, Manga, Hello Kitty, Pokemon, etc., Japan is now exporting its unique fashion sense to the West. Already, Gwen Stefani has paid a tribute to Harajuku fashion in her song "Harajuku Girls".

See the article in SF Chronicle "TOKYO A-GO-GO - COOL TEENS IN HARAJUKU MAKE A FASHION ASSAULT FROM THEIR IMAGINATIONS"

Hi,

My name is Jacques Simon and I am a student in Paris ndoing a short film, 'Mitsutoshi's Mourning Journey', in which it is required that I have a picture of a Japanese punk girl and I was wondering if I could possibly have your permission to use this one which is perfect for what I am looking for:
I start shooting in one week's time so if yo could please get back to me as soon as possible it would be much appreciated. For the use of this picture you will receive full recognition in the credits, but since this short film may be sent into some festivals it is important that we have your full permission for its use.
My email address is nobuo_uem@hotmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely
Jacques Simon
