The Japanese are great - they don’t just throw anything away. The girl was wearing her panties and bra - why throw them away when you can sell them and buy new ones, and so on in a circle. By the way, in these machines the underwear is sorted by freshness - the lower, the longer the girl has worn the underwear (it is naturally more expensive because it smells better).

According to a person living in Japan: What they then do with this acquisition is a mystery to me personally. Although our old friend Lena told me this very revealing story: “two Japanese singers named Kano (such busty girls) published their large photo album a couple of months ago, naturally, in most of the photos they are in panties. So, on the show where they told the world about the album, she personally cut the panties in which the bustier and sweatier older girl was posing in, into small pieces and put them in a tiny bag on the last page of the magazine. And she said that 10,000 lucky people who bought the magazine would become the owners of a ten-thousandth part of her pantsu. To which the people in the studio got excited, and one guy dreamily suggested, and if they say, this magical piece should go into champagne...” But I myself didn’t see this daring fun and ugliness, so I won’t lie: I sold it for what I bought it for.

But I saw this specific product in the store. So let's look at it a little more closely.

On the front side of the package we can see the face and other arms and legs of the alleged owner of the contents of the bag. I sat down like a girl by the road to rest. Look into her black eyes: her look reproachfully seems to say, “Why are you staring here, you sick man? Grab it in your paws and run to the box office already, your vile little soul.”
The price list is right there in the corner: the total, including taxes, is a little less than two thousand yen, or, recalculated at the current exchange rate, about twenty-five US dollars.

You and I have repeatedly ridiculed Japanese underwear, remember? While living in Japan, I was not used to creepy roses and multi-colored promising bushy appliqués on panties, no. But, in principle, the Japanese have changed a little - they realized that lingerie in European taste is also beautiful in its own way, and more and more women want to wear it. After all, what’s interesting is that in Japan there is a lot of modest, very modest everyday underwear, but what is considered feminine, elegant, beautiful is all in killer blooms.

But one day I went into a lingerie store and saw an unusual hanger, where there were, of course, overly pompous, but still not tasteless, downright royal pieces, all in the softest lace and embroidery. It turned out that these are limited editions that come out from major Japanese brands every month, and which need to be reserved!! Oh how!! That is, not only limited powders and palettes, they reserve bras and panties under New Year! But that’s okay, you can understand - in order to clearly calculate the volume, how many expensive sets of underwear need to be produced in order to sell them. But what is more surprising is that in our area, where people live a very simple and practical life, there are many pensioners, there is little luxury - there is really a demand for all this. That is, somewhere under Uniqlo blouses and oversized robes this is hidden.

Meanwhile, even from an intercultural point of view, samples high fashion in the field of underwear are very interesting. I don’t know about you, I can already ignore large floral motifs and strange color combinations, if it’s all done very subtly and the petals don’t protrude from the cutout - ok, so be it. But just imagine, according to the Japanese, this is apparently erotic.

I don’t know what I would think if I were a man, but for now, looking at this Eros, I want to drink a sedative and go to bed: D

The eroticism is off the charts, woohoo! Hold me seven! :D

Although in the things themselves I see great respect for women. No narrow jumpers or hard fasteners cutting into the skin, and look how beautifully the camisole is made on the back! Admiring and nothing more!

I get the feeling that the creators of such underwear have a very detached, abstract attitude towards women. Each such instance can be perceived as an art object, but in isolation from the female body and any erotic context. At the same time, this is very comfortable underwear, the finest lace, always perfect seams and details. And it costs a wow, from $100 per item. There is a black long shirt - 700! That is, this is the best that Japan can offer its ladies.

There is something in this linen painting... Some kind of erotic despair: D

But look at how picturesque and charming the details are.

How do you like this pompom?

Cute bushes! They say that in Japan the scale of TAM thickets began to rapidly decrease. This is big news, actually!

This is just a royal outfit, of course

Here's an example of how much it costs. The Japanese also have non-standard sizes, but they are often not available in regular stores. In general, expensive underwear, like cosmetics, is sold separately from cheap ones; the availability of one or another line depends on the level of the store. Personally, of course, this annoys me; you must admit, I don’t want to go to a special place and kill a day for it, if I just need a good set! But apparently Japanese women think differently: D

But there is even tweed, under Chanel))

Wacoal has a couture line called DIA, hand stitched and sold in very limited editions. They have their own fantasy world there

What color combinations!

Every time I come to Russia, I look at the people. And every time I see something new that I hadn’t noticed before. I won't write what I see now. Because the offended will immediately come running and say that this is how people dress and look like in Ussuriysk, and in general Ussuriysk is not a city, but a village, but in any Moscow this is definitely not the case. Maybe not. At a conscious age, I never went anywhere further than Khabarovsk :)

Before leaving, I took several series of photographs from our walks, so that I would have something to illustrate if I felt like writing. And there were just photos to illustrate what I would like to write briefly about - the relationship of some Japanese women with underwear. These particular photos were taken that morning when we went to the traffic police for the whole day.

Japanese women also have some kinks with their underwear. They are especially visible if they wear thin knitted dresses that were fashionable this summer. Maybe they are always in fashion, I just don’t look around most often. Well, or it won’t necessarily be such dresses, but just something thin or tight-fitting.

And sometimes underwear can be seen quite clearly through the thin fabric. I didn’t spend much time digging around on the Internet and saved a few pictures from the Wacoal website - underwear that can be bought in almost any store. It is so characteristically Japanese. Its characteristic is that it is most often not smooth. Either they have ruffles, or embroidery, or some kind of multi-layered stripes. And all this is clearly visible from under thin clothes.







Now you can return to the photo above the cut and see this same underwear under the dress :) The top is most often made voluminous and textured.

And this is all quite expensive underwear. 30-60 dollars for the bottom, and 100-150 for the top. Seamless, smooth flesh-colored underwear exists, but in terms of prevalence it is probably even less popular than in Russia.

By the way, problems with the top are much less common. Yes, it also has all sorts of appliqués and embroideries, but Japanese women most often wear things in several layers or put on something loose to visually add volume to their shapes. The relief of all these roses can be visible if you wear a thin turtleneck or a dress made of thin, smooth fabric, for example.

In general, I usually like or really like what I see on Japanese women. But it is worth admitting that sometimes they also lack awareness in terms of choosing underwear. Most often they wear clothes that can be worn with anything. But when an item with special requests in terms of linen appears in the wardrobe, the bell does not ring for everyone.

In fact, I have never been horrified about Japanese lingerie. This, of course, is not some kind of La Perla, but it’s better than what I bought at the Chinese market during my school years :) I wanted to show the Japanese La Perla with this word. They also have a distinctive Japanese design, which makes the underwear clearly not worth the money. But it turns out that this brand has been officially stopped selling in Japan for a year and a half. This is exactly the version that was made for Japan. But the world hasn't lost much :)

About six years ago I had the only experience of buying Japanese underwear. Inexpensive, satin. The set cost $60. In the end, I couldn’t wear the top because it had too much foam, and the frills and tucks in the fabric showed through the clothes. Under clothes it looked awkward, without clothes - showing a man so much foam was even somehow indecent (not that I had anyone to show my underwear in the first year of living in Japan :)) The bottom had cute ruffles. I often wore it at home instead home clothes. I would buy it again to run around the house :)
