← → Events in the year 1996 in Japan.

The year 1996 corresponded to Heisei 8 (平成8年) in the Japanese calendar.

In the 1990s in Japan, we begin to see an influx of growth in the fashion community.

Both fashion styles as well as the many sub groups of fashion in Japan, were built due to the idea that most youth in Japan were tired of being conformed into one look.

We begin to see Japan break away from the idea of being a country built on tradition and monotony, and branch into what it has come today; a colorful and vibrant place.
