One of the more surprising elements of Japanese popular culture, at least from the point of view of an outsider such as myself, is how thoroughly it is saturated with images of schoolgirls appearing as everything from sparkly magic girls to kick-ass assassins to underage sex objects.

Ashcraft and Ueda look at eight different aspects of Japanese culture, starting with a history of school uniforms 95 percent of Japanese high schools require them and covering in successive chapters music, movies, shopping, magazines and books, art, games and manga and anime.
