Photographs from a small group of islands
With Japan’s economy still dragging its feet in regards to a full-blown recovery, many shops and restaurants need a certain uniqueness or novelty to attract attention. Such efforts can differ wildly, but the shop below has opted for an approach unlikely to be seen anywhere else.
In the age of the gadget laden lavatory, a crumbling commode may just draw the punters in.
Or not as the case may be.

Or more accurately, an intricate and gloriously injured digit.
Now I’ll admit that exported Japanese cars have silly names such as Shogun and Samurai, but would you ever consider riding around in a Bongo?
Now admittedly my knowledge of fashion is far from extensive, but since when have style and smell had anything to do with each other?
Yet as bizarre as the concept of aroma fashion is, it’s arguably nothing compared to smell based fashion sewing.
Unfortunately the label on the garment pictured below failed to say if its rather unforgiving use of English was aimed at any major in particular.
But dedicated followers of fashion and high-ranking military personnel haters needn’t worry about causing offence. The colourful language is attached by velcro, allowing it to be removed when in polite company.
To promote the Kiss model of its EOS digital camera series, Canon has took the decidedly unoriginal approach of using images associated with the rock band Kiss.
Now considering that Queen have seen something of a revival here due to one of their songs being used in a popular drama, the chances of the Canon advertising campaign producing similar results for Kiss is a distinct possibility.
However before you could say bandwagon, one particular clothing company appears to have leapt so fast that it forget that all important spell check.
