The postcards are presented in a transparent plastic case, which is available in a range of 'fruity' colours. 'A funky, funny look at Tokyos teen street fashion - all Vivienne Westwood and DIY chic. Guaranteed to give you that happy-all-over-feeling.'

(Gay Times) 'Bright, wild and eccentric.' (Amateur Photographer) 'Vibrant and fascinating.' (Guardian) Zusammenfassung Forty-five exciting new postcards by street fashion photographer Shoichi Aoki.
