As we all know, almost every country has its own traditional costumes, such as Chinese hanfu and fancy costumes, Korean hanfu, Japanese kimono, so in our impression, what is more special is the kimono of Japanese women, because there is a "small package" behind their kimono, and many people are curious about what is inside?
So what's inside? Why do people who know that it is better for men not to touch this "little package"? In fact, the "little package" behind the kimono has gradually evolved. At first, Japan advocated overseas trade, so it recruited many missionaries to come to China. When the Japanese saw that the missionaries' costumes were very special, they began to imitate them locally. This gradually took shape into the current kimono form, tying up the "small package"! In this small package, there is nothing but the shape of a wide band tied together.
In the earliest days, Japanese kimonos were very monotonous and had only one color. Under the influence of Tang Dynasty culture, many different colors were added. The belt of the Japanese kimono was also influenced by Tang dynasty clothing, but due to the influence of Christian robes, a waist pack was also added to the waist of the Japanese kimono. But girls wear it looks unattractive, in the front of the fanny pack is like a girl is pregnant, so later put the fanny pack in the back, it looks beautiful, so it continues to this day.
Speaking of this "little package", although it is not obtrusive, its function is not small. The first function is, of course, to decorate, in order to look better, because wearing a kimono also needs to be matched with clogs. When walking in a geta, the "small package" on the kimono flips up and down like a bow, like a butterfly dancing, which is a perfect fit for the gentle beauty of Japanese women.
Secondly, this "little package" is also a reminder. If the shape of this "little package" is square, it means that the woman is married in real life, which is also a kind of notice to other people in the outside world. Another method is to tie the belt in a bow shape, and when you meet a woman wearing this tie, it proves that they are still unmarried. Therefore, if men see these different "small packages" on women's backs, it is best not to move casually, otherwise they will bring some trouble to themselves.
In addition, since the weather in Japan is relatively cold all year round, there was no heating in ancient times, so it was not an easy task to survive the cold winter. At that time, women not only had to help their husbands at home every day, but also worked in the fields. When resting, it is impossible to carry a blanket all the time. At this time, many women turn the "small package" of the kimono into a simple blanket, and when resting, they open the blanket to cover themselves. When continuing to work, the "small package" is sorted according to the previous pattern and then tied to the body. Gradually, this kimono became popular among women as well.
In addition, local women are relatively short in stature, and most kimono styles are long. If there is an extra belt, it will look more shaped, without this belt, it will appear loose, and the overall and visual effect is not very good. People also know that machismo in Japan is very strong, local women do not have much rights, there are certain requirements for wives, and they cannot tolerate their infidelity. Therefore, the method of fastening this belt is handled by men.
If the belt changes when the wife goes out, then the Japanese man will be very angry and wonder if the wife is sorry for herself. It can be seen that the customs and culture of each country are different. Although Japan and China are relatively similar, there are still differences.
So what do we need to pay attention to when visiting Japan?
1. Respect the local culture
Every place has its own customs and traditions, people should follow the customs when they go to a city and a country, in Japan, garbage cans are not visible on the streets, and of course, not garbage can be thrown everywhere. However, in Japan, the requirements for garbage sorting are very high. If you go out, be sure to bring items that you can sort so that you can sort your garbage.
2. Protect yourself
This is the most important point. When going out, you must pay attention to protect your personal and property safety. When you arrive in Japan, you must also protect your passport and other documents. When staying in a hotel, it is important to choose a regular hotel. When going out for fun, it is important to take care of your valuables to avoid unnecessary losses.
Conclusion: Although the Japanese may seem like typical Orientals, they have been more influenced by Western culture since modern times. They are more accepting of Western culture and attach great importance to their privacy, so if we want to travel to Japan, then we must do a good job of following the customs, if it is a group trip, then we must also follow some of the warnings of the tour guide, and should not arbitrarily destroy the customs and habits of the locals, which will be hated by many people and will affect the image of the mainland.
