Why Japanese royalty dress like European royalty?
Why Japanese royalty dress like European royalty?
It's hard to move around in Japanese clothes.
they wearing both.
>Be Japan
>See China get dabbed on by the West
>Westernise to avoid the same fate but keep your Jap culture and traditions so you can beat them at their own game
>Become just as advanced as the West
>Go to war with the West
>Lose
>Damage your national psyche so hard because you put in so much effort not to be China 2.0 only to become China 2.0 that you now think you lost because of your Jap culture and traditions
>Double down on and do everything western instead
WWII did a number on Japan like Germany. Basically western is seen as better in Japan so they do everything like the west including dressing royalty. They hate being Asian, have Western beauty standards, even their army officers use sabres rather than katanas dispite it being an iconic aspect of Japan. I remeber reading somwhere (Either Clash of Civilizations or WCRTW by Jacques) that at one point Japan wanted to join the EU rather than be in an Asian regional organisation.
We fucked them a little bit too hard. Same thing with china, well, we didn't fuck them but you don't see their uber rich aristocrats in Empress Dowager-tier shit.
Same thing with European royalty too I suppose. Although lizzy does wear hardcore dresses on occasion. Idk what I'm talking about I'm high as shit.
that is disgusting. they should return to traditional asian values
>dress like European royalty
but they're just dressed like modern people
European royalty also doesn't dress like their ancestors, honestly they should go back to wearing something like pic related
>but they're just dressed like modern people
Yeah dressed like modern western people.
double disgusting. China should return to traditional asian value also.
Only Korea have protected asian value
no you don't. christianity has infested korea everywhere
>Only Korea have protected asian value
korea is the most americanized asian country
True
>In Japan, the Netherlands continued to play a key role in transmitting Western know-how to the Japanese from the 17th century to the mid-19th century, as the Japanese had opened their doors only to Dutch merchants before US Navy Commodore Matthew Perry's visit in 1852. After Commodore Perry's visit, Japan began to deliberately accept Western culture to the point of hiring Westerners to teach Western customs and traditions to the Japanese starting in the Meiji era. Many Japanese politicians have since also encouraged the Westernization of Japan using the term Datsu-A Ron, which means the argument for "leaving Asia" or "Good-bye Asia". In Datsu-A Ron, "Westernization" was described as an "unavoidable" but "fruitful" change. After Japan's surrender to the United States and its allies ended World War II, the Westernization process of Japanese culture was further intensified and today, Japan is notably among the most Westernized countries in Asia.
>The Constitution of the Empire of Japan, known informally as the Meiji Constitution, was the constitution of the Empire of Japan which was proclaimed on February 11, 1889, and remained in force between November 29, 1890 and May 2, 1947.[1] it provided for a form of mixed constitutional and absolute monarchy, based jointly on the Prussian and British models.[2]
>The Constitution of Japan is the fundamental law of Japan. It was enacted on 3 May 1947, as a new constitution for a post-war Japan.
>The Constitution was mostly drafted by American authors.[3]
>Japan experienced dramatic political and social transformation under the Allied occupation in 1945–1952. US General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of Allied Powers, served as Japan's de facto leader and played a central role in implementing reforms
>So great was his influence in Japan that he has been dubbed the Gaijin Shōgun
Europe won the culture victory long ago now everyone just emulates europe in arts and culture
And the west is full of japanophiles, and japanese history and culture is seen as more refined and rich than western, while at the same japs larp as westerns and try to mimick western standards.
>western clothing
>western army clothing
>sabres
Honestly disgusting.
I actually don't even know what traditional army uniform looks like from Japan. Samurai shit?
"My country – Japan, is located in the eastern boarder of Asia. Yet the spirit of the Japanese people has already departed from the ugliness of the Asian milieu and shifted toward to the Western civilization.
However,it is unfortunate for us (Japan) that there are neighbouring countries. One is called Shina (China). The other one is named Chosen (Korea).
...
Comparing the three countries – Japan, China, and Korea – there are more similarities between China and Korea. Together, China and the Korea are more different than similar to us. No matter in an individual context or as a nation, the people of these two countries do not know the way to progress.
Even they can see *it (*the signs of the progression of civilization) or hear *it, they lack the will to act. Their stubbornly love affairs with the ancient mentality and outdated customs have never changed in hundreds and thousandsof years. When this new and effervescent theater discuss upon the topic of education, they (the Chinese and Korean) only trace back to Confucianism. In terms of education in schools, they can only refer to benevolence, integrity, decorum, and wisdom. On the surface, they counterfeit the intactness of things. In truth, they neglect righteous principles. Similar to any arrogant being who knows not of self-examinations, they have depleted morality to the extreme of shamelessness.

t. guy on 10000 yen bill (highest price bill in Japan
So is there any internal resistance against this? Are there no nationalistic groups who don't want this?
"For example, rule of law cannot be sustained (in those places) when the governments of China and Korearemain in their old-fashioned despotism. Westerners may suspect that Japan is an equally lawless nation.Both the Chinese and Korean people are so entangled into their superstitious beliefs and know nothing about science. Western scholars may also think that Japan too is a country devoted to the Yin Yang and the Five Elements.
The Chinese are shameless people who do not understand humbleness and humility, even the chivalric compassions of the Japanese people are overwhelmingly shrouded by them.
Koreans are extremely atrocious when punishing their own people; Japanese people would too be speculated (by the Westerners) as such (brutal people). There are countless things similar to the listed ones.
In metaphor, it is no different than that a man’s righteous deeds would be shrouded by the ugliness of his neighbors’ actions when he is the rare one who lives in a village or a town that is known for their (the villagers’) foolishness and cruelty. "
This is part of Datsu-A-Ron (Argument on escaping Asia)
Japanese Empire looked towards the west for inspiration and rejected what they saw as backwards East Asian culture.
>the Gaijin Shōgun
Honestly so based I can't even
Ah yes Korea the only asian country which pratices mass circumcision, very traditional
I love how Japan took western imperialism, mixed in a lil Bushido, with the end product being so batshit abhorrent that it turned the west off imperialism for good. It's like teaching a kid how to make a fire and then he begins burning houses to the ground.
They all kamakazied in 1945
Whys this? Will we ever see a reversion to traditionalism? Seems only iran and saudi arabia still dress traditionally
That's not european culture, that's Meiji culture. They dress like that because the Meiji emperor wanted to do so.
>at one point Japan wanted to join the EU rather than be in an Asian regional organisation.
Very based. They should do it.
I would approve this if we move Scotland, Ireland, and Wales to where Japan is and England to point Nemo as I want to be away from everyone forever
Meiji is the "we Europe now" period.
Because of Meiji.
See it's western m8
Western clothes were heavily influenced by the east tho, in 19th century and the beginning of 20th
>using sabres instead of katanas
Shameful
