Satirical azuki bean beards are the latest weird Japanese trend. Since 2007, artist Takao Sakai has been documenting a weird Japanese sub-culture of people who go out in public wearing odd beards inspired by the popular ingredient, Azuki bean. These bean beard wearing people are called 'Azurers.'
But here's the twist: Takao Sakai is actually the mastermind of it all. It's all part of his ongoing series, 'The Azurer Project,' a satirical take on ridiculous Japanese trends and how gullible the foreign media can be at times.
