Kimono-clad babes offering their knees as pillows as they carve the wax out of customers' ear holes is the latest hot fad to hit Akihabara, the Tokyo district best known for its maid-loving geeks and gizmo fans.
Yamamoto Mimi Kaki-ten's only service is to clean its customers' ears, with the job performed by sexy young women kneeling on the floor and clad only in summer kimono known as yukata.
Each ear-cleaning session lasts 30 minutes and costs 2,500 yen.
Yamamoto Mimi Kiki-ten is believed to be an extension of the maid fad that has seen a sudden boom in popularity within the district for "themed" women; like those wearing kimono similar to types favored by waitresses in the 1920s, women who wear cat's ears and women pretending to be men's older sisters. In the same building as the Yamamoto Mimi Kaki-ten, there's even another store staffed entirely by women dressed up as men, but made to look like the effeminate types portrayed by the famous Takarazuka cross-dressing revue.
