Our spotlight this month is on the punk band "Seppuku Pistols" with their leader Iida Dankou on our icon. From Iida's attire, you can tell this is not your usual modern-style punk band. Dressed in farmers clothes of the Edo period and playing traditional instruments, their uniqueness has brought them overseas to New York and even Dubai. See this month's issue to learn more about them! Enjoying Hiragana Times? Spread the word and follow us on Instagram (@hiraganatimes) for more Japanese content.
