Take Ivy reads favor a dry, anthropological textbook, which is its great charm. The intonation is detached, yet enchanted - to Hayashida's Japanese sensibilities (in the 1960s Japanese students wore a prim uniform, day in, day out), the man students were spontaneous and exciting. 'Except for the few particular occasions while a knot and a jacket are imperative, entire Ivy Leaguers that we observed were dressed in a loosened way,' the book states. 'Some chose no to crease in their shirts, leaving them out over their trousers. Some tear off the hems of their trousers and wore them as cut-off shorts, some put on shoes without socks… and the account goes on.'
The book was intended to serve 'as an valuable documentary of fitting dress codes on campuses', merely it became many more than that. Take Ivy reminded an outbreak of American-influenced 'Ivy style' shape amid cool students in Tokyo; once out of print, it reached cult status, with infrequent original copies selling on eBay for thousands of greenbacks.
