In today’s video, we discuss the rise, and the much deserved downfall and disappearance of the "buruma" uniforms at Japanese academic institutions.

◆Our Digital Book◆
THE SECRETS OF THE JAPANESE MIND- Demystifying the Japanese psyche towards life, gender, love, sex and more.
[ Ссылка ]

I have spent decade plus years living, studying, and working in Japan.

And I have, quite literally, seen it all- studying Political Science and Economics at Japan’s most prestigious private university (produced the current Prime Minister of Japan as well as much of the business executives of the nation) to working at a Japanese firm afterwards, while simultaneously being a poor foreign student from South Korea on a government scholarship during the younger years, working midnight construction jobs in Tokyo in order to survive in what used to be one of the most expensive cities to live in (before all of the recent Japanese yen depreciation).

And from such experiences, I have seen how all layers of the Japanese society operate- from the elites that are to be future Prime Ministers, to homeless midnight construction workers working paycheck-to-paycheck.

This book is a culmination of my years of joy, as well as tears in Japan, attempting to first survive, then later thrive in this unique island nation by understanding its idiosyncratic people, whose minds I found to often operate on a cellularly discrete level to that of individuals from other nations.
