Nanpa or '''nampa''' ( ナンパ), in Japanese Culture , is a type of Flirting and Seduction , popular among Teenager s and people in their twenties. The word was originally rendered in Kanji as 軟派 (literally "the soft school"), and was used in a rather different way—to refer to people interested more in fun and self-indulgence than in "hard" pursuits like Politics , Academia , or Athletics . Nanpa tends to occur on busy streets and other lively public places, notably Shibuya Station in Tokyo . Young men stand at the edge of the street and watch passing women. When a woman strikes a man's fancy, he typically invites her to a Café or Karaoke bar. The evening may consummate with a visit to a Love Hotel , or at least the promise for a second rendezvous. Although it is rare in practice, nanpa is socially acceptable in Japan, and tolerated as a natural youthful indiscretion, although most women consider it a form of Street Harassment . There also exists a Homosexual nanpa culture, especially within the Gay Village of Shinjuku Ni-chome . |
