The Obsessed: Otakus, Tribes, and Subcultures of Japan
$119.00
The Obsessed: Otakus, Tribes, and Subcultures of Japan reveals the extraordinary passion devotees have for their hobbies and lifestyles.
The otaku’s passion is all-consuming. Whether it be cosplay, gothic, or rockabilly, when the Japanese embrace a subculture, they do it like no other. From Lolita fashion and latex couture to neon-drenched big-rigs, anime-plastered vans, and chrome-heavy hot rods, subcultures in Japan are as varied as they are fascinating.
Delving into these worlds with dazzling photography, on-the-ground interviews, and cultural essays, this book showcases a kaleidoscope of scenes and individuals drawn from Japan’s many countercultural groups.
