Why do you get criticized for wearing a kimono, but not for wearing a JK? They are both from Japan?

There are two misunderstandings in asking questions, the misunderstanding of consciousness and the misunderstanding of cognition.

Cognition about Japanese school uniforms. Kimonos have very typical national characteristics and iconic representatives. However, the current JK school uniforms are not Japan’s own, and are even just changed to remove the original “military uniform” elements of the old school uniforms. new school uniforms. This change is largely based on the similar development of school uniforms in Ireland, the United States and other countries in Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. Japan itself has acknowledged this, and some schools will also introduce the origin of their school uniforms, or tell them where they come from (introduction in Japanese).

As shown in the picture, it is taken from an Irish street video in the 1970s:

Note: After girls’ schools first appeared in Japan in the early 20th century, British skirts were mostly used as school uniforms. Later, during the War of Aggression against China, the Japanese navy uniforms, which were derived from British sailor uniforms, were changed into women's school uniforms, and then further into skirts. Later, in the 1980s and 1990s, new school uniforms emerged based on European and American school uniforms.

The second reason why kimonos are disliked is that they are iconic, and this involves Japan’s various actions during the invasion of China (such as immigration). It represents any kimono during the war of aggression against China. The haunted places have become occupied areas. Therefore, this kind of clothing is very exciting to China and even any country that has been invaded and occupied, and it is difficult to change over time.

In fact, it is not difficult to find that including South Korea and many Southeast Asian countries, it is also rare to see their own citizens wearing kimonos walking on the streets. Only in China are they more common. On the contrary, this shows that there is a problem in China's new generation's lack of in-depth understanding and memory of history.
