Kyodo news agency says that many of the calls came from outside Fukui Prefecture, where the outfitter is based.(...)In the interests of gender equality, Marry Mariee now also offers a service for women who want to be photographed in men's clothing. "We want to provide opportunities for people to enjoy showing their real selves, whether they are men or women," Iseki adds.
