A very detailed book about uniforms in Japan, with major focus on school uniforms, but the book also deals with post-school uniforms in the work place and even in the home. Lots of examples and a solid foundation set on past studies, books and surveys. The author also shows the anti-uniform culture, which sometimes ends up being just as uniform. Formal uniforms vs. the cult of playful kawaisa (cuteness). Really interesting, seeming to follow the changes within the life of the Japanese, from school uniforms, to the college rest period (where you wear whatever you want), to the uniform (and job)they will be wearing the rest of their life.

这是一本关于日本制服的非常详细的书，主要侧重于校服，但书中也涉及到工作场所甚至是家庭中的校服。书中有大量的例子，并在过去的研究、书籍和调查的基础上打下了坚实的基础。作者还展示了反制服文化，而这种文化有时最终也会成为制服。正式的制服与俏皮的Kawaisa（可爱）的崇拜。真的很有趣，似乎是在关注日本人生活中的变化，从校服到大学的休息期（在那里你想穿什么就穿什么），再到他们一生都要穿的制服（和工作）。
