Japanese Culture

I’ve read a lot of Japanese women getting the double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, ect so I got to wondering what the basic standard for most of Japan is beauty-wise. Like the counterpart to the long legged, tan busty blonde in America. What kind of nose, eyes, hair, ect are considered "beautiful" or "ideal" in Japan? Like why is a high bridged nose so popular? Can you please give me a general idea (and if possible, pictures of the features you’re talking about)? You can post your personal opinions too. Thanks.

Your question is weird. What is the basic standard of beauty in your country? Is the stand of the US one one? that narrow?
And the word "counterpart" is also strange. It’s your idea but not Japanese’. People don’t think the US as a counterpart of beauty, but just one country in the world.

You always focus and compare Japanese’ culture and the sense to the US. Why don’t you ask the same question in other Asian sections? You’ll find the people in each countries has various sense.

High bridged nose is not popular nation widely, but some women who suffer intensely from their ugliness get that kinda surgery.

Followings are famous TV show called "Beauty Colosseum".
Pictures are there.
Probably you’ll focus on the surface of their look and the change only.
However, if you could understand Japanese language, you’ll notice how deeply and sadly and intensely they were suffering from their ugliness.

Feel the pain of those women’s heart. "Beauty" is the topic people talk seriously and sincerely in Japan. It’s it not about standard.

An increasing number of women in Japan are reporting instances of domestic violence, but despite greater awareness there are still relatively few shelters for victims.

Al Jazeera’s Tony Birtley reports from Tokyo on the women who are speaking out about the problem.

In general what the main differences between the way Chinese and Japanese women dress?

In modern times, there really isn’t a major difference as the two countries tend to emulate each other. However, historically, China and Japan had different traditional costumes. While both countries had wide use of silk, Japanese women wore kimonos while Chinese women wore a qipao or cheongsam.

Good luck!

I’ve been to Japan twice now and it annoys me that Japanese women always talk with a high-pitch tone(which is not really their voice) and they walk pigeon toed. Is this their pop culture? I was so annoyed at a starbucks in Fukuoka, I had to move!

LMAO!!! so im not the only one who noticed this!!

I really think that Japanese women chase after trends come from U.S. And I think it is totally understandable because America is still the world’s number one at everything. Not everybody says so but after all it is number one. But it is my own view as a Japanese. What are American’s views? Do Japanese women look like copy machines? And do you see us as an interesting race or rather, pitiful people?
Copy machines of Americans?

pchh noo never you guys aren’t copy machines, haha whenver i see japanese tourist im like woahh they have nice fashion sense and when i go to america its boring.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi (Japanese: ????) (ca. 1797 – April 14, 1861) was one of the last great masters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting and belonged to the Utagawa school.

What are the differences in the lifestyles of Indian and Japanese women?
They’re both equal under the Constitutions, but arent Japanese women treated better?

I’m not sure about Indian women’s lifestyles but modern Japanese women’s lifestyles are pretty good, though…

What do Japanese women think about the "interest" men all round the world takes in them?

Rather curious about this

So um mm…Yeah. Japanese women

What do you think?

And Is all those things true or false

Such as Japanese girls are into Black men?

Etc…

Or are they just baseless assumptions, stereotypes?

A reasonably good-looking western guy who goes to Japan will find himself receiving a good deal of female attention, but it’s not because Japanese women like western guys better than Japanese guys.

Japan is 98% Japanese, and most of that other 2% is Chinese and Korean. Westerners make up less than a tenth of a percent of the population.

Now, that means that even if 99% of the women don’t want anything but a Japanese boyfriend, the ones that do want a western guy will outnumber the available pool of western guys by about 10 to 1.

woow..
