Mirror, mirror


In Japan, you will always be aware of your looks since every street, station, building, construction is full of mirrors, inside and outside.

There are two types of mirrors: those that are meant for warning, so people can see where they are driving, either a car, a motorcycle or a bicycle (we must remember that in Japan people drive on the left side), and there are also those created especifically for vanity. In the stores there are mirrors everywhere, even in the roof.
In the bathrooms -at least women's- there are many mirrors displayed specially for women to get gorgeous. I have never seen a Japanese young woman who doesn't look outstanding. Every single detail of her looks is very well thought: hairstyle, makeup, clothes, shoes, handbag. Everything has an intention and a relationship with the rest of the outfit. Men do also care about fashion and good looks, as well.

In Japan, everywhere you look at, there is you!
