Japlish

By Sally Larse

An oversize book of black and white photos by Sally Larsen showing Japanese youths wearing clothing with phrases in Japlish -- a term used in Tokyo to describe Euro-American expressions found in Japanese newspapers. The English is sometimes misspelled and always has eccentric phrasing. Larsen believes that Japlish is becoming a new language that is being used by Japanese young people to cope with their shared world view and to express their fascination with foreign cultures. The introduction includes an interview with Larsen about her photographic interests.
