After living in Tokyo for what some would consider a terribly long time, it has to be said that the likes of rabbits being taken out and about, and rabid Nazis traipsing about, can become rather unremarkable — run-of-the-mill even.
And yet kimonos, with their resplendent colours and classic cool, could never become that.

Quite the opposite in fact.

Japan’s fondness for dainty and diminutive dogs shows no sign of fading, with miniature mutts milling about all over the metropolis. But having a canine that is considered cute is apparently not good enough anymore, with clothes and carrying contraptions deemed de rigueur — the former, in particular, now so normal that it’s increasingly unusual to see a not so big dog naked.
And then even when one does, it seems natural colourings clearly aren’t cute enough.
