Journal #43 Who Needs a Man bag? I heard the idea that man wears a man bag is not suitable with masculinity in the UK. Certainly, many Japanese men also don’t have any bags when they go out except for a work. They just stuff everything - mobile phones, wallets, and handkachief - in their pockets. I usually bring many things to go out, so I need a handbag. For example, a cardigan which to wear when I feel cold, a folding umbrella which to use when I get suddenly rain and a mini porch for fixing my make-up. Sometimes I feel envy men’s lightness.
