Japan has been known for some quite strange maid cafes with young girls serving tea dressed in aprons and frills. However according to Korea Herald, a new trend in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro district is a café which now boasts of a disciplinary housekeeper from anime series Heidi, Girl of the Alps (intro video below). So customers go in and are scolded for not sitting properly or having the right manners. This is part of the Festival Tokyo 2010. This is an interesting change in trend in Japan as it reinforces there is always something ‘new’ to be explored. Maybe even a longing to be scolded?
The ‘maids’ range from real-life grannies to young girls who are dressed as grannies who even wear fake wrinkles and dye their hair.
