Harajuku fashion gallery -- mind-bendingly awesome subculture
via Boing Boing by (author unknown) on June 07, 2008
Shared by Mark Whiting I really like that description.JapanForum's group gallery of Harajuku fashion is gigantic, fantastic and mind-blowingly weird.

via Korea Beat by Korea Beat on June 06, 2008
