You've never worn a kimono I take it? You're back to being 3 years old and unable to dress yourself as putting on a kimono is not quite the same thing as throwing on jeans and T-shirt. But it you want to get a sense without actually doing it, truss yourself up in a corset by way of comparison and see how comfortable it is to breath.

living with nature, . . .

Yes, because we all know that only Japanese really understand this. Oh, and night soil buckets.

kind (to) each other . . .

Summary beheadings of anyone below samurai caste for minor "infractions. The eta forced to live like the animals they were forced to render as one of their few allowed occupations.

I do. Simple life, Everybody wearing kimono, living with nature, kind each other..

Don't forget the famines and the riots over high taxes opposed by a government mired in a dire situation. Also don't forget the ban on Western literature for the first half of the Edo period. In the second half, there was said to be an increase in corruption and a general decline of morals within the Japanese government itself.

Personally, I prefer now. We are very lucky in what we have th capablity to do, see and learn.

I wish Japan could go back to Edo era.

Your beloved Abe and his LDP are doing their best to bring us back there.

Erika Toda is still hot.

'I wish Japan could go back to the Edo era'

You really don't.

Uchiyama appears as a female samurai

Sorry, that's a contradition in terms. Women couldn't be samurai - it was a formal position that only men held. "Onna-bugeisha" is probably the right term.

@I wish Japan could go back to Edo era.

Yes! When women's wishes wouldn't be answered and they could just enjoy suffering years of DV and abuse. Have to love nostalgia for the good old days.

Weren't the roads kind of muddy, though? Cool mushroom hats and clogs, too!

Better than Japan-Bashers!

Would help if they all looked at the same camera.

They picked some real babes for this flick. Rina looks hotter than ever. And Erika can be a beaut when she smiles. But Hikari seems rather thin in this picture. Maybe it's the outfit. I hope Masato took her out for a big bowl of udon after this event.
