Christmas for Teens in Osaka

Christmas for Teens in Osaka

On Christmas Eve, high school students at the Dotonbori Bridge in Namba, the Osaka equivalent of Times Square, do their best impression of Glico's iconic running man while dressed in Christmas-themed costumes. The photo can be used as a good way to raise questions about identity, the movement of popular culture across Oceans, as well as fashion. Photo taken 12/24/2010.
