Japan has been an isolated country for thousands of years until it truly opened up to foreign influences in the late 1800’s, when Emperor Meiji wanted to modernize the country. The Japanese culture is still based on ancient values and traditions. The honourable Samurai tradition can be found in many day-to-day aspects of life in Japan. That’s why visitors of Japan are usually impressed by the differences between the Japanese culture and their own.
Strong sense of fashion
Many people revere Japan for its strong sense of fashion, high-tech affinity and artistic trends, such as daring modern architecture. One of the remarkable dress codes anyone can see when visiting the cities of Japan is the Japanese construction workers’ outfit. Based on the true samurai and ninja dress codes, the tobi (Japanese construction workers) wear baggy pants (tobi pants), split toe boots (tabi shoes) and tight shirts (japanese tshirts) as a serious uniform to express their pride in belonging to this hard-working guild.
