Dicha tienda vendía ropa tradicional japonesa y se basaba en kimonos como los de la época Heian (794-1185dC). Aún así la ropa de ésa tienda era muy cara, así que los takenokozokus de distritos más pobres se realizaban ellos mismos sus propios trajes.</span></span></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="search" style="visibility: visible;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="search" style="visibility: visible;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The name provides by a shop called Takenoko, which was situated in Shibuya, because the -zoku sufix in japanese means tribe or group. These shop sold japanese traditional clothes and was based in Heian's epoque (784-1185 dC) kimonos. At least, the clothes in this shop were so expensive, so the  poor takenozokus musn't bought them and the only way to be takenozoku were customizate their handmade clothes.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="search" style="visibility: visible;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="220" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ97JqyRU72QLkXLqv3cl_4X5aQjh5IeoirxqRTiYibF2D0-VlHuCFZTIRNO2dKWbjRiLsKBQOiWsgOkN1M-mVPVNrimDBKOstG0mTfRcO8CZvecajcDJylS-iQ7RZ2N1NAZROqbGmpOg/s320/takenokozoku.jpg" width="320" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="search" style="visibility: visible;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">La estética de los Takenokozoku era bastante llamativa: Trajes anchos de poliéster con colores brillantes como rosa, amarillo, lila, verde, rojo...atados a la cintura generalmente con una cuerda. La combinación de colores solía ser bastante estridente. Muchas veces estaba decorada con kanjis. En la estética también había un gran componente infantil: se coser en la ropa parches donde ponía: Mi nombre es... (algo que se utiliza en las escuelas japonesas), llevaban silbatos de plástico y incluso algún peluche. En ambos sexos también incluían sombreros de plástico y en el caso de las chicas, collares de perla de tiendas baratas. Es evidente que esto podría ser un referente a lo decora que más tarde se creó. Las zapatillas eran de kung fú, pues eran muy cómodas.</span></span></span></div><span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="search" style="visibility: visible;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></span><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="search" style="visibility: visible;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The takenozoku aesthetic was so shocking. Polyester baggy clothes with bright colors like pink, yellow, green...with a string. Were usually to decorate the clothes with kanjis. In their aesthetic were usually to had a infantil component: sewed patches with a My name is... phrase (in Japan is common to use that for identificate the youngest kids), were wearing plastic whistles and sometimes some cuddly toys. In both sexes were common to wore plastic hats and in the case of the girls, pearl pendants bought in cheap shops. Is evident that this could be a referent to decorer aesthetic.
