Japanese school uniform

During the Meiji Restoration, Japan was addicted to the idea of strengthening the army as a rich country, so this kind of clothing with military significance was just to the Japanese's appetite. Originally, Japanese students' school uniforms were traditional and harmonious, that is, the so-called trouser skirts, which were worn by both men and women. Now they can only be seen at university graduation ceremonies. Due to the gradual Westernization Movement from the end of Meiji to the beginning of Taisho, Japanese schools abandoned traditional uniforms and adopted ordinary black-collar uniforms, which were improved from real military uniforms. In fact, it was the first naval officer's uniform, which was officially adopted by the Japanese aristocratic school in 1879. (Another story about the origin of the black-collar uniform is Meiji 15. According to the guidance of the Ministry of Education, the uniform was first popularized in public schools, first adopted by aristocratic schools and Tokyo Agriculture and Forestry School, then by Tokyo University, and then gradually became the official uniform of schools above middle school. The reason for this is that traditional Japanese uniforms are not suitable for military training and gymnastics, and military uniforms are used as student uniforms.

As for girls, because there were no clothes for female soldiers, they borrowed sailor suits instead. At the earliest Fukuoka Women's College, they were first adopted as gymnastics uniforms, and then gradually became official uniforms, and then they became popular all over the country. Before the war, female students in Japan all wore sailor suits, and according to the national conditions, the pants in the lower part were also changed into skirts. Here we can see that in terms of clothing performance, they are also wearing navy uniforms, but there are differences between men and women. This is due to the traditional Japanese culture that men are superior to women, because uniforms represent authority and obedience. Male students wear uniforms of officers representing managers, while female students wear uniforms of soldiers representing the ruled class, thus determining the whole social order. Later in the war years, sailor suit also became an important accessory in the whole national mobilization system, symbolizing the meaning of absolute obedience. Originally, it was only children's wear from other countries, but it spread to Japan, and the change was so great that Britain did not expect it. . . . This is because everyone knows that Japan is a big country of "takenism", which is also reflected here. . . . Don't forget to adopt it when you are satisfied.
