Hi.every one!

 How is everyone doing?



I used to work as a tokoyama, a person who sets and makes wigs for kabuki and Japanese dance.


Until the Edo period (1603-1868), Japan was different from today's Japan in that the hairstyles that could be worn were limited by status, occupation, and marital status.


This meant that you could almost always tell what kind of person a person was by looking at their hairstyle!


It is also interesting to note that the culture of Edo is completely different from that of Kamigata (Osaka).


Many people are fascinated by the embroidery, dyeing and weaving of Japanese kimonos, but hairstyles are just as profound.



Is anyone interested in this?


I'm waiting for your various comments!

      こんにちはあかねさん
      can you call me Cristian please.
      I study Japanese because I like the language and Japan has traditions that have always intrigued me, I have been to Japan 2 times, and I like it very much, I like the combination of modernity and tradition, I like being in the center of a large city and enter a temple and find a peace and quiet that seems to be out of time.
      You can tell me what you like best, about Japanese culture, I will read everything with a lot of interest.
      ありがとうございます

    To Cristian
    I see.
    Certainly, there are many spaces in Japan where modernity and tradition are fused. The temples and shrines are also very beautiful and calm. I like Japanese performing arts such as "Kabuki" and "Sumo". I would like to write about them! Thank you for your comments!

 We live in an age where we can learn a lot about the world online. We should be able to understand that cultures, values, and many other things are different, and even that our concept of normal is only around us. However, I am painfully aware that there are becoming more and more events that apply only to what is convenient for them. These include war, religion, immigration, and discrimination against women under the guise of genderlessness. Even in Japan, there are many things that I find strange. Assumption, The premise is that everyone forgets that even if you are good at something, the other person may not be so good at it. In Japan, the sentences for sex crimes are very light. What we also see is the low level of women's rights. There are countless adult contents in Japan, even in the anime genre. These can be seen in anime characters that have become hits around the world. The sheer number of characters with abnormally emphasized breasts is obvious. When you are exposed to ...

Congratulations, President Trump. And I salute all my dear friends abroad who are trying to protect Japan. Japanese politics and judiciary are no longer collapsing. Serious and honest people continue to be exploited, and the economy is so tight that Japanese people cannot even get married. Taxes are too high on everything. The more you earn, the more you are taxed. On the other hand, there are many people who are not in the workforce and cannot become full-time employees. The number of children's school lunches has been reduced, and the elderly are forced to work part-time. It would be acceptable if the taxes collected were used to enrich our lives, but they are not, and despite record tax revenues, Japanese politicians and the Keidanren are still plotting to raise taxes. The very people who are supposed to be setting up a production system that reflects the nation are doing the exact opposite. And there is no current to stop them, or if there is, it is too weak and is swept away b...

Why

 Where Japan is heading is very frightening! Japan's constitution states that the people run the country. For this reason, power has been decentralised and various decisions have been made under the name of separation of powers. What about nowadays? Every day, people who do not do what is their duty to the people are evading their responsibility, making no apologies and deciding national policy on their own. On New Year's Day this year, an event occurred that instantly wiped out the festive atmosphere. The earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture. The situation is still devastating and reconstruction has not yet taken place at all. There is not enough food and water supply. It has been six months since the houses collapsed. And yet, the quiet people of the country are finally beginning to look askance at a country that only gives aid money abroad. I think we have paid the price for believing that politicians were there to improve the country. Politicians are hereditary, and their powe...
