“TOKYO, JAPAN – MAY 10: Yu Misaki, the campaign girl for a lingerie maker, Triumph International Japan, shows off ‘the Post Privatization - Total Surprise Bra’ during the company’s autumn/winter collection on May 10, 2005 in Tokyo, Japan. The Postal Privatization Bill is the centrepiece of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi reform policy. With panty and corsets being the symbol of Japan’s post office.”
