What are the strange customs and habits of the Japanese?

The strangest thing the Japanese do is to have an unmarried woman accompany her father to a "**** bath" before she gets married.

While soaking in the bath, both of them would use a cloth to cover their hidden parts. The married women are expected to be very respectful to their fathers and help them scrub clean as a way of repaying their fathers for their upbringing. At the same time, the father teaches them how to serve their husbands in the future. There is no other physical contact between the two. In addition, it is said to be a custom for daughters-in-law to bathe with their fathers on the Heian Festival. To the Japanese, this is a way of conveying love to the elderly.

Japanese women are great to marry:

Because they give the outside world the impression that they are very well-behaved and very good at cleaning up the house, and very polite when treating guests, full-time housewifery is a profession in Japan, and many housewives will also take classes to improve their housekeeping skills. But if you want to take a Japanese woman as your wife, according to traditional Japanese marriage customs, you may encounter the following problems.

First of all, on the day of the wedding the girls will be dressed up in the grandest of Yamato kimonos, and will walk only in small steps. They will wear very traditional makeup, which is simply described as an invincible big white face and flaming red lips. When they smile at people, at first glance they look just a little bit shocked, and when they look closely, their hairs stand up. Because they can't show their teeth in their smile.

This is the first oddity of the wedding custom, the teeth should be stained black. It is said that such an act is to tell all people that one is now a married woman with a husband. This is a very important sign in a solemn ceremony.

Secondly, when the tedious ceremony is over, the bride is sure to remove her makeup. And this is the time when the husband will be tested. For the woman he will be dealing with is: without eyebrows.

This is the second odd wedding custom, where the bride has to shave off all her eyebrows.
