Has anybody seen their snowboarding line of clothes?

I bought a jacket last year, I thought it was pretty cool, but all my Japanese friends say its a bit strange. Why dont Japanese like their own designers that acrualy are quite good.

 

By the way I am not one of thoes Japan wanabees that are mad into zen or something.

Never heard of them.

 

Sounds like your friends are being a bit snobby there. Why do they say it is strange?

[YellowSnow 0]

Well they say its okashi.

Mostly because there is a lot of kanji on it.

There is a mon on the back and a painting of a sumo on the liner.

 

e.g.

Yeah, I am not a fan. I like more simple stuff myself in good colours.

lot's of kanji make you look like a 'yankee'

who cares what people think

Everybody cares some what, what people think. We are social beings after all.

Yeah Kumapix they say its yankee, but I dont think it was ment to be, since it really is a Japanese brand.

 

When I first came to Japan I used to wear a "Bench" skate shirt.

Well it had one of the pre war japanese flag designs that was quite large. Loads of people would stop me on the street and be angry at me. Saying that I though Japan was a seat or something.

 

I hate the if you wear Kanji you are a henna-gaijin. I have lived here 3 years and I have to go out and buy Japanese clothes, I am not doing to wear those daft Engrish clothes that read something like.

"Yum it loves watery choco from down under coffee bean spout".

Yankee doesn't mean foreign. It's the loud and often obnoxious young people who wear those kinds of clothes. So just being a Japanese brand doesn't mean it wasn't dsesigned for that market...

[YellowSnow 0]

Yeah I know, but I don`t think I was designed for that market even.

What I am saying is that just because I cant win, unless I wear something completely plain or stick with English.

again if you care that much sell the jacket. if you like the jacket then who cares.

[Fattwins 0]

expect more check last year around this time Thursday its normal. Heck thats one reason SJ set up the read this before posting.

 

Matsumoto flights are good how good is the train from there matt?

Fattwins, the question is not about whether I will wear the Jacket or not( I will)

Its why do Japanese have a bad attitude to kanji, even when it is correct. Not like something that was made outside Japan with incorrect Kanji.

 

Yankee explains it a bit, but not everything with kanji is yankee.
