Underwear

The traditional Japanese loincloth has somewhat surprisingly enjoyed a revival in the last few years, its loose fitting nature and one size fits all no-nonsense approach possibly contributing to the item’s success.

However, whether this particular animal-themed undergarment will enjoy similar sales is debatable to say the least, despite it offering equally ample accommodation.

Although that said, I personally found them a little tight.

Japanese pants pulling

The grace of the geisha or traditional tea ceremony’s gentle movements are famous facets of Japanese culture, but for the tourist after a true insight into this beguiling country, then attending a public performance of the ancient practice of pulling pants off a partner’s head is paramount.

Japanese game

A truly fascinating pastime that somehow manages to capture the spirit of both sumo and the samurai.

Sort of.

Japanese ladies man?

According to current underwear campaigns, lacy Japanese lingerie can be classed as love jewellery,

or even lunch.

However, when it comes to rather hefty and hirsute Japanese men sporting polka dot patterned skimpies, neither seems particularly appropriate.

Japanese lingerie lunch

For fellas who are all fingers and thumbs at the best of times, this lunch-themed bit of lingerie must be the last thing they’d want to see, let alone lay their hands on — the combination of food and a possible fiddle making a fumble all the more likely.

Imaginatively made by Triumph International, Japan’s premier novelty underwear producer, the ‘My Chopsticks Bra’ comes cleverly equipped with a pair of collapsible eating utensils, along with two bulging bowls containing replica rice and miso soup.

Which, while not exactly saucy, do supply the option of a quick slurp or something to have a naughty nibble on should a break be deemed necessary.

Update: There’s now a video available to at least feast your eyes on.

Schoolgirl snatch

Whilst not exactly a pastime as such, panty pilfering isn’t especially uncommon in Japan, with finds of unfeasibly large amounts of underwear regularly making the news. Yet whereas most perpetrators practice their art with the utmost care, Junichi Uchikura threw caution to the wind by entering a policeman’s property to bag some of his wife’s briefs.

A bold move in itself — especially as the officer was off duty and at home — but one made more audacious by Uchikura-san’s outfit, as when he was caught, the 24-year-old was sporting a Japanese schoolgirl sailor suit uniform. An item he apparently acquired during an earlier escapade.

Sadly no photograph has been released, but Uchikura may (or indeed may not) have looked something like this.

Minus the beard perhaps.

Tokyo ticket

Elections may have been and gone in Japan, but Triumph International can perhaps be forgiven for not exactly being topical with its latest novelty underwear offering — the Voter Turnout Lift-Up Bra.

However, whilst the garment’s characters cleverly spell out ‘ballot box’, and the manufacturer insists its introduction will help spur erecti election fever, many fear it could ultimately result in a large number of spoiled ballots.
