A modern Japanese couple in a 1929 cartoon by Ippei Okamoto 岡本 一平 (father of Taro Okamoto). This couple is indicative of Mobo モボ and Moga モガ, those fashionable Japanese who adopted modern / Western ways of dress and behavior during the 1920s (Modern Boy モダン・ボーイand Modern Girl モダンガール). For a photo of real ‘Moga’, see: “Moga Japanese modern girls”
