Introduction
Everyone wears school uniforms in their school days, and the colors and styles of school uniforms in different regions are not the same. However, in our country, school uniforms are generally long dresses and trousers, and there is no big difference. But looking at foreign countries, the school uniforms of many countries are quite bold, especially Japanese school uniforms.
The evolution of school uniforms for Japanese girls
In most schools in Japan, girls’ school uniforms are generally sailor suits. Z1z must know that sailor suits were originally the clothing of the British Navy, also called seaman suits, which were made as male soldiers' clothing. Why is it now a school uniform for Japanese girls? Now let’s listen to the lifebuoy.
We all know that Japan was originally a small backward country, which gradually became stronger after the Meiji Restoration, and the evolution of school uniforms was also carried out during this period. Before the Meiji Restoration, Japanese female students usually wore kimonos to school. Kimono is the national costume of Japan. Although it looks good, there are too many collocations, which particularly affect students' ability to move, and they cannot even participate in various sports activities.
During the Meiji Restoration, in order to encourage students across the country to participate in sports activities and have healthy bodies, the Japanese education circle decided to reform the school uniforms of students.
In 1900, the uniforms of Japanese girls began to change. At that time, the most mainstream school uniform for girls was a kimono on the upper body, a hakama on the lower body, and the hem of the kimono was tucked into the hakama. At this point, the female students’ legs have finally been liberated, and they can participate in various sports activities with without any scruples.
In 1905, Professor Inoguchi of the Women's Higher Normal School visited European and American schools and returned to China and believed that Japanese school uniforms should be learned from him. At that time, the uniforms of the British Royal Navy were popular all over the world, and this kind of military-connoted clothing was in line with the Japanese "rich country and strong soldier" concept. The education circle finally decided to westernize the school uniform.
However, although the new school uniform has been redesigned, the skirt of the costume has been dragged to the foot at the beginning, and the top is also long sleeved. Although is much better than kimono, it is neither beautiful nor convenient for Japanese girls who are generally short.
In 1921, Elizabeth Lee, the dean of Fukuoka Women’s College, took the lead in introducing sailor suits. After the gradual dressing movement from the end of the Meiji Restoration to the early Taisho era, Japanese schools successively abandoned traditional kimonos and put on real ones. A black stand-up collar uniform modified from the uniform of a navy officer.
Sailor suit has become the mainstream school uniform in Japan.
Since then, girls have put on short-sleeved tops, short skirts in sailor suit style, and also matched with high socks and leather shoes. They are both beautiful and convenient. They have been popular all over the country for a time and have been well received. After 1926, all schools in Japan have entered the stage of sailor uniforms. In many film and television dramas, sailor uniforms also appear frequently. even plays a role as a bad girl in a sailor suit in some film and television dramas, which is popular and popular.
It is worth mentioning that because many girls like sailor suits so much, in the cold winter, they will go out in short skirts bare-legged. I have to say that this "beautiful frozen man" scene, although weird, is enough to show how popular sailor suits are in Japan.
Until now, although sailor uniforms are no longer the mainstream school uniform in Japan, in many schools, sailor uniforms are still used as school uniforms for girls. Z1z Lifebuoy believes that although Japanese sailor uniforms were originally imitated British navy uniforms, they have already become a uniform culture in Japan. I believe that many Japanese will miss the time of students wearing sailor uniforms. What do you think of ?
