TokyoShoes: A blog of photography, fashion, footwear, and travel from a Japanophile's perspective
Description
Last year I returned to New York City, after three years of living in the alternate universe known as Tokyo. I currently work in eBusiness for a bank, snap pictures occasionally, and travel as much as I can.
The Japanese, as the world greatest fashion victims, provided constant amusement for me, especially from the knees down: fur, sparkles, and more fur comprise daily footwear. This fascination provided inspiration for this site's name, TokyoShoes.
I originally conceived of this as a way to share my experiences in Tokyo with friends and family, debunking as many myths about Japan as possible along the way. For some reason, someone over at Japanzine deemed TokyoShoes worthy of a “Best of Japan on The Web 2003” award and Metropolis Magazine interviewed me for an article on blogging. My struggles with HTML led me to write a popular Blogging for Beginners guide cited by Ask Yahoo! and Instapundit.
