East Asian countries are almost all etiquette countries with good reputations. Although our country is a "cultural supreme country", with the development of history, the cultural habits of each country have become different, such as Japan. In fact, everyone likes to visit and travel, but their culture still retains a lot of shadows of Chinese civilization, but it is easy to ignore the fact that many "taboos" that Chinese people cannot understand in the local area have long been created. Let us sort it out today so that we will avoid accidentally becoming a "thorn in the eye" when traveling to Japan.
tattoos, I believe everyone has become accustomed to this thing. After all, it is a way for contemporary young people to show their personality. If you have not tried it, many people will even say that you have never experienced youth. People with tattoos with their favorite patterns are everywhere around us. Of course, you will not see it unless you pay special attention to personal image. However, in Japanese, it has become a taboo for the public. If you show this "personality" in public, you will undoubtedly become the object of "staying away from everyone".
In fact, the Japanese public's disgust for tattoos has a long history, because in , the Edo era, , most prisoners at that time were sentenced to "tattoo", similar to the punishment we are now. Even if we have received the punishment we should receive, those who have misconduct will have nowhere to hide from the public's perspective. They will be restricted in their daily social interactions and even the time to find a living. In fact, this punishment was also passed down from us, but the reason why Japan is particularly sensitive to tattoos is more related to its subsequent development.
As mentioned earlier, anyone with a record of committing crimes will be subject to many restrictions in their future lives. Reality has allowed them to gather together and set up many influential small groups. Because they are quite "disciplined" in dealing with people, they have allowed these groups to engage in more "gray affairs". Gangs were born, and tattoos have also become a symbol of their identity. In the early years, the Japanese gang forces have grown and grown, even enough to influence the official, bringing a lot of suffering, so that everyone still has lingering fears about tattoos.
So in Japan, if you have tattoos on your conspicuous side, hot spring baths, swimming pools and other places are strictly prohibited. In fact, it is not difficult to understand. According to the style of gangsters, most of them will cause public security incidents. For the safety of customers and the ability to operate your own business smoothly for a long time, if you are the boss, you may also be particularly sensitive to "tattooers". Therefore, when you travel to Japan and want to go to similar public places, it is best to cover a tattoo in a conspicuous position to avoid inconvenience.
