Esikhundleni sombukiso wendiza noma isethulo, u-Watanabe ukhiphe iqoqo lakhe elikhululekile kodwa elihle ngendlela yencwadi.
Esikhundleni sesethulo somuntu siqu noma umbukiso obonakalayo, u-Junya Watanabe ukhethe ukwethula iqoqo lakhe lasentwasahlobo ngefomethi yencwadi. Wafuna abantu abahlukahlukene bansuku zonke abafanelana nesithombe sakhe somkhiqizo, wabe esedabula elaseJapan namasampuli ukuze awagqokise futhi awathwebule ezindaweni zabo zokusebenza naseduze. Phakathi kwalabo abasesithombeni kukhona umpheki we-sushi, umkhandi wezinkemba we-samurai, umdobi wempukane ochwepheshile, umpetha we-bonsai, umakhi wezitho zomzimba, umdwebi wamapulani uSou Fujimoto kanye nepheya lomakhenikha bezimoto.
Indlela yokwethula yayinengqondo. Emaphuzwini akhe ale sizini, uWatanabe uthe naye ugqugquzelwe yizincwadi azichaze “njengezinto eziyigugu engizazisayo, yize ngingazivuli nsuku zonke.” Isamba sezincwadi ezingama-20, omagazini namahlaya asize ekulolongeni iqoqo, okuhlanganisa amatomu obuciko, ukuklama nokubhala, kanye nomagazini we-Playboy, uchungechunge lwama-manga olunesihloko esithi “Dr. Slump,” nezincwadi zokupheka ezimbili ezahlukene. Izithombe eziphuma ezincwadini nakumakhava azo zisetshenziswa njengamaphrinti ezikibha, amahembe, amalayini amabhantshi nokunye kulo lonke iqoqo.
Ama-silhouette ka-Watanabe ayekhululekile, kodwa isithombe, amathonya ezimpahla zokusebenza, kanye nemininingwane efana neziqephu zokuqhathanisa nokuthunga kunike ukunikezwa umphetho opholile, wesimanje. Wasebenzisa izindwangu zemvelo ezifana nekotini nedenim eluhlaza ukuze akhiphe isiginesha yakhe yomlenze obanzi, amajini ama-drop-crotch nama-blazer aklanywe ngokuxekethile. Izikhindi zazibanzi futhi zishaya ngezansi kwedolo, kuyilapho amabhulukwe amaningi ema ngenhla kweqakala. Bekukhona nokunye okufakelwe okwengeziwe, ukubukeka kwebhizinisi okungajwayelekile, okuhlanganisa isudi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka e-navy enama-lapel anemibala, namahembe ahlanganiswe yimigqa namathoni aqinile. Iqoqo linikeze uchungechunge oluguquguqukayo lwezingcezu ezingaphelelwa isikhathi ezingahle zihehe amakhasimende ahlukahlukene njengalabo abalimodelayo.
