Kancho or Kancho - strange Japanese game, mega-popular among Japanese schoolchildren junior classes. Players fold their palms and extend them forward index fingers, which try to thrust into another player’s anus at any moment, especially when the possible victim is busy or distracted with something.

Japanese girls are absolutely NOT allowed to interact or talk with boys until they reach a certain age.

11. Kofuns are Japan's mysterious closed parks.
Japan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Every meter of land is important here, but even in Japan there are closed and almost untouched areas of land. Moreover, not a single person has set foot on them for several centuries. We are talking about kofuns - ancient burial places of local emperors. Translated from Japanese, “kofun” means “mound”. Most often, kofuns are made in the form keyhole and are surrounded by a deep ditch filled to the brim with water.
Visiting kofuns, the imperial burial grounds, is not customary among the Japanese; moreover, it is under the strictest prohibition. Therefore, do not even dream of getting there with a tour or on your own.
12.There is a rockabilly renaissance in Japan.
This is an old Japanese tradition, but a new youth hobby. Some youth subcultures often experience revivals. This is exactly what happened with rockabilly and rock and roll, which were revived again in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. In Tokyo there is Yoyogi Park, where all the local fans of this cultural tradition gather and hang out.
These Japanese dress extremely unusually - they wear flashy biker jackets, vertically flowing bangs, long-forgotten updo hairstyles with a roller. Well, of course, they only listen to rock and roll. They have friends who are still living in the 60s, lady greasers. They dress in bright multi-colored dresses and worn, rolled-up jeans, as was fashionable 50 years ago. On the other hand, this newfangled Japanese tradition and youth subculture prove that rock and roll is alive!
13. Gyaru is another newfangled Japanese tradition for young women.
Gyaru is youth subculture teenage girls. Those who remember the movie "Wasabi" will understand what it's about. we're talking about. Teenage girls strive with all their might to achieve some strange and flashy ideal of beauty. Adherents of this youth Japanese tradition they go to extreme lengths to achieve their (in their understanding) ideal of beauty.
Interestingly, this movement does not wither, and has existed for several decades. It is believed that gyaru girls must adhere to a certain style in fashion, hairstyle and makeup. And here fashion and trends change periodically, but some characteristics still remain unchanged.
Gyaru means very high heels, very short skirts and very large and expressive eyes. As in other movements, there are their own, smaller directions. The strangest and most unusual movement in gyaru is yamamba, a subspecies of ganguro. The name of this small subculture literally translates as “ black face" These young Japanese women rub suntan lotion into their faces as much as possible, bleach their hair to White color, and then apply even larger circles of white shadow around the eyes. The must-have look is complemented by flashy neon bright clothes or bright hair extensions. True, in last years This tradition is becoming less and less popular among girls. The traditional Gyaru movement is being revived. True now Japanese girls They try to have fair skin and make their eyes multi-colored with the help of contact lenses. As a result, regardless of the fashion that is present in Japan, the Gyaru tradition even for this unusual country is very exotic.
14. TO araoke!
Today, karaoke has already conquered the whole world; it is difficult to find a country in which there are no lovers of this art and entertainment. There are even world karaoke championships! Meanwhile, karaoke traditions vary greatly in different countries.
In Japan, as throughout East Asia the most popular karaoke format is a small room equipped with karaoke equipment, which is rented small company hourly. That is, Asians prefer to sing for their own, and listen to their own (how can one not recall “Lost in Translation”).
Among the high-tech Japanese, karaoke applications for mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular - as they say, “a song that is always with you.”
There are various strange traditions of brightly decorating cars, buses and trucks. The website turupupu.ru already described this when writing about Sri Lanka. But the captivating Japanese surpassed many here too. In Japan there is separate group fans of trucks and more, which easily eclipse all the exploits of other modifiers.
The name Dekotora translates to trucks decorated with lighting. Skillful Japanese turn ordinary long-distance trucks into real works of art. Everything is used, including dazzling neon lighting and special car paint. So in Japan it appeared relatively new tradition- “super-pumped” trucks, which sometimes resemble famous transformers.
And the reason for the emergence of this strange Japanese tradition was the cult TV series of the 1970s “Trucker”. Interesting fact, that for several decades this tradition developed extremely slowly and suddenly suddenly began to develop rapidly in the last few years.
So now driving along the expressways of Japan is absolutely not boring - there is something to see!
And in general, these Japanese are strange people. Although damn hardworking and talented. But now we are not talking about that, but about sexual fucking in Japan, which is becoming less and less common. It is being replaced by abuse and other sadism.
A couple of months ago, the European public was shocked by the news that young people in Japan are massively giving up sex - that is, altogether. She was shocked, however, not for long: they shook their heads at the phenomenon, as if at hentai, and forgot. Meanwhile, in the ruins of online porn produced in Japan, videos with scenes of violence against women are increasingly found. What’s even worse is that those who don’t always imitate it. We look into why sexual aggression is progressing in one of the most developed and well-educated societies in the world, and also how people are to blame for it modern media and centuries-old traditions.
On January 8 this year, the entire Japanese police force caught Yuta Sugimoto, a 20-year-old suspect in the gang rape and robbery of a woman on the street of Kawasaki. According to police, Sugimoto escaped during interrogation, taking advantage of the carelessness of the officer supervising him. “It scares us terribly that he is still on the run,” said concerned mothers. “I’ll lock the doors tighter today,” echoed the father of two elementary school students in an interview with a local channel, which, like all other media, covered the chase around the clock. The case, which was not supposed to become public, like most cases of rape in Japan, this time attracted the attention of the entire press and the police themselves: 4,000 police officers, 850 police cars, helicopters and dogs were looking for one escaped criminal, and the next day they found him found. By official statistics, Japan has one of the lowest rates of sex crimes, and it seems that the widespread interest in the escaped rapist should confirm this. But that's not true.
Every culture defines sexual crimes in terms of what is outside the norm. So what is considered normal sex in Japan, a country of triumphant pornography and unbridled prostitution, which is still not legalized, but is not nearly as condemned as in other civilized countries?
“You know, it doesn’t seem normal to me to write an article about sex in other countries. I understand that many readers will be interested in this, but I believe that each individual has his own path and that this is a very personal story,” says a friend from Japan who, within a few minutes, unfriends me on Facebook. I get about the same answer from three other acquaintances who previously consistently laughed at all sexist jokes and discussed the most obscene hentai every day. Although it may seem like hypocrisy at first glance, this behavior is normal for the Japanese. Japanese women are a little more open, especially those who left the country about ten years ago. Satoko Asahi has lived in the United States since 2004 and says that “statistically, not all young people are interested in real sex, but this is not only the fault of technology. I believe it is controlled by the media and society. In our Japanese media, a new word has even appeared, “neutral”, denoting feminine men, as well as “herbivorous men” ( herbivore men ). Such definitions, of course, change the usual understanding of man and woman, as well as sex, and therefore lead to these oddities in love.”
“Oddities in love,” as well as a noticeable decline in young people’s interest in sex, were documented in the newspaper The Guardian . An article entitled "Why did Japan's youth stop having sex?" made a lot of noise, because in it a former professional dominatrix who turned into a sex consultant talked about Japanese celibacy. Reasons given included financial (childcare is expensive), career (women have finally managed to build a career and want to secure their position) and technological (availability and prevalence of online pornography, sex toys and hentai). The article, however, barely mentions high level violence in Japanese media products, which supposedly turns women away from sex, and gives men the opportunity to fantasize about the dark around the clock and, as a result, deprives them of the desire to have sex in real life. According to the data Associated Press , of the total amount of pornography available, approximately 20% contain themes of rape, and these numbers are growing every year. Pornography seems so normal that it is quite common for Japanese men to read porno manga on trains while sitting next to women.
In pornographic manga, sex (even by mutual consent of the parties) is usually an action towards the woman, rather than an act of all participants in the process. When female characters express sexual desires on their own, they are often "rewarded" by loss of interest or expressions of anger from male characters. Moreover, women in manga often enjoy pain and humiliation. Such a message to readers suggests that women should not express their sexual independence, but should enjoy the role of objects of aggressive male desire. Simply put, it is the man who gets pleasure from sex. By directly participating in the creation of society's ideas about sexuality, pornography and the prevalence of the sex industry convey the idea of “natural” male aggressiveness. As the Japanese saying goes, “a man’s character should not be judged below the navel.”
In a report published annually White Paper on Crime , which in free access is on the Internet, there are statistics for Japan. According to the report, the number of reported rape cases increased until 2003, but decreased steadily thereafter. According to alternative statistics from the research group of the Ministry of Justice of Japan, approximately 11% of women in Japan simply do not write a statement due to the traditional nature of Japanese society, in which the victim always provokes the rapist with her “loli” appearance. The reason lies in the Japanese itself legal system, in which there is an unspoken acceptance of one true story among all the stories of what happened.
"Individually, Japanese detectives are charming, loyal, hard-working, sincere and very decent people, but as an institution the Japanese police are arrogant and often incompetent," says Richard Perry, a British correspondent who has lived in Japan since 1995. Quite often, court decisions are made not on the basis of facts, but on the basis of the stories of the participants according to their own interpretation of events. When a subjective opinion is consistent with the prevailing ideology and beliefs, it is most often viewed as an objective truth. Stories that go against social conventions make storytellers outcasts. Therefore, there is more faith in the one who was the rapist than in the victim: she most likely enjoyed it.
It’s hard to believe, but there is one disgusting story to confirm the prevailing morals in Japan (there were no such precedents anywhere in the world). Shinichiro Wada, a student at Tokyo's prestigious Waseda University, created the club Super Free , one of the conditions for joining was participation in gang rapes. He allegedly raped about 500 women after plying them with alcohol. Wada studied political economy and turned gang rape into profitable business. He organized drunken parties in various clubs, attracting up to 2,000 participants, each of whom had to buy a ticket. After the party about 100 attractive girls They were transported to another club, where they got drunk. Then five or six drunk girls were selected: they were brought to the headquarters Super Free and raped, filming with a camera and forcing her to smile at the camera. One of the arrested rapists, Junichiro Kobayashi, advised the boyfriend of one of the victims to “look at these photographs” and make sure that “everything happened by mutual consent.” Similar "parties" spread to seven cities in Japan and included students from Keio, Meiji and Hosei universities. Although Wada's father expressed regret for his son's actions and advised him to "have courage and kill himself," Japanese officials initially made strange statements.
Yasuo Fukuda, then chief cabinet secretary and minister for gender equality, said that "the problem is that many women dress provocatively" and are partly to blame for rape. Fukuda subsequently stated that his words were taken out of context and he “meant something completely different,” but did not specify what exactly. Waseda University responded in an interesting way: Super Free was dissolved, and a notice was posted for students - “Any sex without consent is rape, and this is a serious crime. Don't be fooled by stereotypical violence in dramas, comics and videos!
History with the club Super Free shook up Japanese society and slightly increased the rate of rape reports. For the first time in a hundred years, Japanese legislation, which has not been revised since 1907, included punishment for participation in mass rape. Japan, a leader in the world of technology and an aggregate of the world's main madness, is hopelessly behind the rest of the world in matters of gender equality. Violent comics have become a gateway to the real world: A 17-year-old student who raped 31 women told police he tried to recreate scenes he saw in pornographic magazines. Japanese youth en masse refuse to have sex. It seems that this is the first community in the world that just needs to read and watch less, and then, perhaps, sex will return to the country, in which no one is humiliated, and kind pink ponies rule the world. “Still, the blame for the lack of interest in sex lies entirely with the media. For example, can you explain why young Japanese women like to watch two gay men having sex? - asks Satoko. - I can’t, but the media spread it like new trend, and the whole society, as a rule, unambiguously accepts it. It turns out that we just watch and fantasize too much instead of just living.”
Let us note that ferocity of character is not alien to the Japanese; the descendants of the Chinese who survived the massacre in Nanjing can tell about this. At the same time, the drug that causes aggression, which ISIS militants are pumped with, did not yet exist at that time, so everything came from within. But, apparently, after the aggression aimed at external world, they were forbidden, having previously been treated for violent militaristic insanity with napalm, uranium and plutonium, they transferred it to the sphere of sexual life, and instead of caressing the one they naturalize (normally, this is pleasant not only for the recipient of the caress, but also for the caresser) , they beat her up.
