I prefer yama-girls in the Taisho period to umi-girls who wore zebra-striped bathing suits...<br /><br />http://www.town.oiso.kanagawa.jp/shisetsu/shiryoukan/kikakuten/kikakuten_14.html☆sapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444996989089740303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618037172759094056.post-25800396605269702182012-05-25T18:57:37.225+02:002012-05-25T18:57:37.225+02:00Chris: thanks for reading - and for alerting me to...Chris: thanks for reading - and for alerting me to "Invisible on Everest". I dropped into the Zurich Zentralbibliothek on the way home and - astonishingly - they were able to dig a copy out for me. It seems to be of somewhat, ah, specialist interest. I will give it a quick scan. It reminds me that, years ago, YamaKei magazine did an article or series on the history of Japanese gear makers. Maybe I'll get to that topic one of these days. As for your gear-induced epics with the OE, you whet our appetite for another post soon on i-cjw soon....Project Hyakumeizanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260637418886330553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618037172759094056.post-80988236564691351152012-05-25T03:09:27.070+02:002012-05-25T03:09:27.070+02:00Wonderful!

Murai Yoneko would be pleased. But I wonder if you can still see those very traditionally dressed university "Wandervogel" club members in the Japan Alps these days - you know, all dressed in identical sets of grey woollen knickerbockers (very Taisho) and matching red or blue shirts? And probably carrying those amazing "Kissling" backpacks, wider than they were tall. Sad to say, I guess such figures from the past are now quite extinct. You could still see them sometimes in early Heisei, in places like Tokusawa....Project Hyakumeizanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260637418886330553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618037172759094056.post-38786027907484565122012-05-23T00:46:17.809+02:002012-05-23T00:46:17.809+02:00Your post has lightened my morning, thank you.

In fact, they may be coming back with those yama-girls you see on Japanese mountains these days. They are usually wearing skirts, but on windy days, they can tighten the brims of their skirts, which look like bloomers. When I saw them on Hakusan on a very stormy day, I thought they were very charming and practical, and maybe good to wear.sunnybeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674968432555807898noreply@blogger.com
