A woman on Huaihai Street in Suzhou caused controversy by taking photos wearing a kimono. So since everyone in Huaihai Street eats Japanese food, why can’t she wear a kimono? 1. Because everyone is too sensitive, Huaihai Street already feels like a Japanese street. Wearing a kimono is just for the occasion.
Huaihai Street has almost become a street in Japan. Almost all Japanese food is available when walking down the street. However, no one said anything about those who went to eat Japanese food. Those women who took pictures in kimonos were criticized by everyone. Well, they said that she had forgotten her roots, that she was a businesswoman who didn't know the hatred of losing her country, and so on.
In fact, it is good that the kimono is a representative of Japanese culture, but you can watch Japanese anime, you can like Japanese celebrities, you can eat Japanese food with relish, and when it is the turn of the kimono, you can do everything Boycott, does it mean that wearing a kimono means that I am Japanese? There are Chinatowns in foreign countries, so do people have to show their patriotism by not wearing Tang suits?
So this is just a representative of culture, and Huaihai Street is already very Japanese. People wear kimonos to take pictures just to suit the occasion, so why not? 2. Wearing a kimono does not mean forgetting your roots and should be treated rationally.
Not only that, there was also an aunt scolding a girl wearing a kimono to take photos by the West Lake, thinking that it would damage China’s image. In fact, this was completely unnecessary. After all, many people now drive Japanese cars and use Digital products and cosmetics made in Japan. Could it be that other countries don’t wear clothes made in China out of patriotism?
And some girls wear kimonos simply because they think they look good. Besides, we are in Huaihai Street, a place with a strong Japanese atmosphere. There is actually no problem with this. It is just to suit the occasion. You really don’t need to. Such fuss.
There is no need to think too much about it. After all, many people like Japanese food. The reason why they are so opposed to wearing kimono is because they think of the meaning behind it. But clothes are clothes and have nothing to do with Japan. They are just a kind of culture. It’s just Japanese culture, so why should we take it too seriously?
