Coolbiz in Tokyo

“Cool it!”

If somebody doesn’t tell the Japanese to “Cool it” they won’t.

The hardworking and diligent in the land of the rising sun will don a suit and tie, sweat bullets and otherwise maintain their appearance until the cows come home unless someone tells them it’s okay to do otherwise.

It’s okay!

Japan’s Environment Minister participated in a fashion show at Tokyo’s Midtown.

The emphasis – it’s okay to take your tie off. But keep those coats on, dang it!

It doesn’t matter what the temps go up to, you here!

Gotta love Japan. Gotta love the way they keep up appearances.

Gotta love those products they churn out even more, eh?

    This is very true! I have lived here for 7 years and even when the mercury is touching on 40 degrees, most are still suited and booted. It is starting to change though. The don’t wear a tie campaign started a couple of years ago and more and more salarymen are beginning to catch on.

    And yes – I do love the Japanese. Fabulous people.
