Short, white satin kimono with red satin lining, long sleeves and short quilted turtleneck. On the front and back of the shirt are paintings of trees with white birds perched among the branches. Pink flowers, adorned with beads and sequins, hang from the trees. Black Chinese characters decorate the front and back of the shirt, and silver buttons line the sides. The long, flowing cape, also with red satin lining and silver buttons down both sides starting from the collar down, and large black and red Chinese lettering on the back of the cape. A white scarf ties around the collar of the kimono. White hot pants, topped off with white knee-high satin boots.

What do the letters on the cape mean? - Well, folklore has it that Bowie (in 1999) jokingly said that it meant "Get your potatoes here". However, each of the Chinese letters (Chinese letters were utilized in the Japanese language when Japan didn't have letters in ancient times) actually means (from upper to lower): "exit" or "out", "fire", "breath out" or "puke", "wild" or "riot", "force". But as words they mean nothing!!! The letters should be pronounced (again upper to lower); "De" "Vi" (vi of video) "To" (to of tomato) "Bow" "I" and so they really read "David Bowie"!or alternately can be read as: "The man who vomits and fires out provocative words threatening violently"....

David Bowie - 1973

"This, again, is all Freddie Burretti stuff. '73-ish. These were my day clothes ha ha ha! My offstage stuff!! I look rather reflective. Kind of, Where are we going? It was madness by then. We were touring frantically. We toured all of 1972. And I had one month off in '73. I must have been pretty near the edge. This was during our second American tour. I folded up the Spiders in July, 73'. I was very exhausted." - David Bowie (1993) responds to this photo shown to him by Q Magazine in "David Bowie: This is Your Life" feature.

Bowie stripped down to only a red sequined jockstrap in Japan above (April 1973) and later did the same in Glasgow.
He explained that this was in the tradition of Japanese sumo wrestlers.

Multi-colored knitted body sock/suit made of metallic yarn in sections of pink, red, and blue geometric patterns on black or white. It has one long sleeve and one pants leg on opposite sides with only a cutout for the other arm and the other leg. The long sleeve has diagonal green and white stripes, and donut-like stuffed bangles to go with it in green, red, yellow and blue made from the same metallic knit fabric. With turquoise feather boa and large padded wrist bangles.

Les écoles de filles entrèrent dans une période de plein épanouissement. À l'ère Taishô, le nombre d'élèves fréquentant l'école secondaire pour filles augmenta de manière significative en raison de la diffusion de l'éducation générale des filles.
Mais après le grand tremblement de terre du Kantô en 1923, les uniformes de style occidental furent adoptés les uns après les autres dans les écoles de filles. En particulier, au début de la période de Shôwa (1926-1989), la majorité des écoles avaient adopté l'uniforme de marin, qui avait déjà été introduit comme tenue de sport à la fin de la période Meiji. Avec le passage aux vêtements de style occidental, les coiffures également évoluèrent, passant des coiffures classiques aux chignons et aux coupes courtes en carré.
Le style pour femmes, devenu populaire comme uniforme scolaire pour les étudiantes à l'époque Meiji et Taishô, était plus qu'une simple mode. À l'époque, ce style moderne et haut de gamme était considéré comme un signe de fierté, d'émancipation et de réussite.
