After World War II, Japan established the Self-Defense Forces on July 1, 1954, which has been Japan’s defense organization to this day. The Self-Defense Forces mainly maintain Japan's self-defense capabilities. The Self-Defense Forces not only have male soldiers. Since women were allowed to join the army in 1986, the number of female soldiers has increased significantly in recent years. The number of women in the Self-Defense Forces has reached 27,000. They can be seen in almost every field of the Japanese army. to see their beautiful figures.
From the military parade of the Self-Defense Forces, the uniform steps of Japanese female soldiers are also the focus of the spotlight. However, what makes Japanese female soldiers particularly different from other countries is that they never wear swords and guns, and they are all neatly dressed. Wearing women's shoes, and carrying an eye-catching small square bag on the left shoulder of each female soldier, they looked particularly awkward in a serious military parade. At the same time, many people are curious, what exactly is in the bag of a Japanese female soldier?
Are there firearms inside? However, when participating in the military parade, the guns and artillery used in the military parade are expressly prohibited from loading. Moreover, all guns of all soldiers participating in the military parade must be inspected to ensure that they are free of bullets before arriving at the scene. Only some special defense personnel's guns can be loaded with bullets. It seems that it is impossible for Japanese female soldiers to hide weapons in their bags.
So it can’t be a firearm, so what is it? First, let’s take a look at why female self-defense soldiers need backpacks?
In fact, it is a custom from Japan. When Japanese women wear kimonos, they need to wrap a small backpack around their back, but it is not a small backpack. Japanese women regard it as " bring". It is a kimono belt used to tie the waist. Usually when Japanese women tie a kimono, they basically wrap it up in several layers. However, this buries the Japanese women’s measurements. The good figure is gone and the waist becomes bloated. Therefore, in order to highlight their graceful figures, Japanese women use a long belt and tie it with a knot on their kimono, which is also called a "girdle".
The belt on Japanese women’s kimonos is usually very long, so after wrapping it, Japanese women will tie it on the back into a butterfly outfit or a square bag shape, which not only shows the beauty of the body, but also makes the The kimono looks particularly gorgeous.
So backpack decoration has become the most symbolic decoration for Japanese women. This small black satchel has thus become a military ceremonial attire for the Women’s Self-Defense Force. Then there is another theory: Japanese women have been influenced by Western social ideas. Western women generally wear skirts and bags in formal occasions. Originally, the Japanese army was based on the Western army.
As for what is in the bags of Japanese female soldiers? The editor still doesn’t know, I hope everyone can use their imagination to popularize it
