I don’t know which is weirder, the idea that you’d want your nose to be bigger, or that you think you can “train” it into pulchritude by using one of these pink plastic torture devices! Longing for a tall nose is nearly as common as the fervent wish for a small face among Japanese women, and judging by the constant stream of products on offer, someone must believe you can teach it to be pointier by snapping a glorified clothespin onto it every night.

Yikes!
Funny about that. I was always told I have a cute little nose, but apparently here in Japan it’s quite large…but that’s a good thing. All a matter of perspective.
