Were women allowed in school in Dai Nippon Empire? They barely get accepted in Japan nowadays.
The fuck you on about
It was a jab at women being rejected from universities in Japan, ongoing cultural problem. Also a legitimate question as well, I have no idea what sort of rights were afforded to women in Japan before their occupation by the USA, but I know historically they were treated like objects and dealt with footbinding or other body modifications.
I thought foot binding was a Chinese tradition?
I don't really care who started it but it became really popular to bind dancer's feet into very tiny shoes in Heian Japan starting in the 10th century, and it continued until it was banned some time after WWII. There was even a medical journal article about it in 1937.
This doesn't seem real.
Dreadlocks would have been extremely abnormal for the period. Hell, it'd be extremely abnormal now.
You sure this isn't some indy photoshoot or AI or something?
Not sure if you're serious, and I don't know if the pic is authentic, but I don't see dreadlocks, just thick Asian hair.
Source: I'm Asian and had classmates with the same kind of hair.
The one on the left has half her hair in dreadlocks.
I guess the shutter could have blurred it to look exactly like dreadlocks, but it looks pretty definitive to me
Believe it or not deadlocks aren't indigenous to modern era afor Americans
Did I say it was? My point was that it would be very odd in 1945 Japan
Jfc. Nevermind, I'm not getting anywhere in this thread. I guess this isn't a community for discussion, just neat pictures.
I thought the same thing tbh, but upon zooming in I think it may just be a combo of shadows/sunlight and a shitty 1945 camera. Some of the "dreads" look kinda like normal hair towards the tips.
If anything, it's caked in mud.
Could be. I tried a reverse image search to find more context, and didn't find anything but posts like this with no citations, starting from 2017.
I'm not convinced it's real.
Japan was really desperate huh
The level they were willing to go would have made insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan seem tame. even the elderly in some cases were being given sharp sticks and expected to train on how to defend their given area.
I know a lot of people in the modern age abhor nuclear weapons and consider their existence crimes against humanity and their use in WW2 the greatest atrocities ever committed, but their use in 1945 factually saved the lives of hundreds of thousands on both sides, Japanese commitment to defending the home islands that intense it's entirely likely literal millions would have died in their defense, despite knowing it was inevitable a US force would eventually successfully gain control of most if not all the population centers and resources.
As a matter of fact, more people died in Tokyo from daily bombing raids in a single day than both atomic bombings.
That girl on the left has some cool-ass cyberpunky hair.
That's most likely the result of a lot of dust/dirt and wind I think.
Do you think? I couldn't figure out why she had dreadlocks.
We can't see her hands well either. Maybe she's AI.
Maybe you are, even. Brave new world, isn't it?
My hair gets that way after a night's sleep or when taking it down sometimes. That expression on her face makes it seem like she just doesn't care any more and let it go.
