Jan Chipchase is back in Japan where he lives and has a post on future perfect on what looks like the Ginza business men's dress code:

"Visitors to Japan wanting to witness something a little more dense-urban should be in Shinagawa station by eight o'clock - the volume, direction and uniformity of the commuters is well beyond the norm.

What distinguished them for one another? Bags and mobile phones, projecting identity, status or peer group affiliation".
