It is rumoured that some men take off the tie on weekends but this has not been confirmed. Women wear formal business suits too and, while they do look different from and better than the men, they all resemble each other. Conformity is big in Japan: not standing out is religion. Hordes of identically dressed people pass politely by you, and the odd foreigner in coloured clothes strikes a discordant note.

Some of my favourite movie art in the world comes from Japan — one of the few countries today with a wonderfully unique movie poster aesthetic. Unlike most countries including India where globalisation and the digital age have largely killed the homegrown aesthetic and rendered it bland, westernised and homogenised — Japanese posters continue to retain a singularly local flavour.
