Japan is very cold in winter, why do girls still never wear down jackets?

One is the influence of Japanese culture, and the other is the sound supporting facilities in Japan.

In Japan in the winter people wear really less clothes, girls are also very rarely wear down jacket, even if outside the goose feather snow, short skirts and shorts is also the standard for Japanese girls. There are deep historical and social reasons for this.

Historical and cultural reasons: Ancient Japan's material scarcity, cotton cloth has always been a luxury item, even for men's wear, but also very little. So their cold resistance is forced. A more important point is that Japan revered the spirit of bushido, from childhood to sharpen the will of the children. Almost all of the children in Japan are rolling around in the snow and ice, that is, they are training for cold endurance. On the one hand, it is to exercise their superior quality, on the other hand, it is to hone their will. They have to grit their teeth even when it's cold, so when they grow up they are much less sensitive to the cold. So it gives us the impression that even in the minus 20 to 30 degree winter, they will maintain the "beautiful frozen" image.

Sound service facilities: Are Japanese people really not afraid of the cold? It's not really true. They are human beings, and they are aware that they can be cold. The reason why they wear so little in winter, and their service facilities facilities also have a lot to do. In Japan, almost all indoor heating, and there is no dead space heating supply. When you enter a Japanese interior, the first thing you feel is that it's warm as spring, and it's all dry with no dark corners. And they all choose clothes that are exceptionally warm, so even though they are thin, they will still be warm.

Overall, the Japanese aren't really as hardy as we think they are, it's just the culture and robust social services that give them the backbone to wear so little.
