Just 150 years ago, we all Japanese wore Kimono rather casually.The way how we put on was quite different from how we supporse to wear kimono..I mean some local women in oldern time put on Kimono quite roughly according to some books.

After Edo period, during meiji and taisho time beauty kimono girls contests were popular, but normal girls from normal family were not allowed, so mostly allthose beauty contests were applied by so called ochaya girls who work for entertaining men serving Sake and food.

In those days Japanese men used to wear Kimono, zouri and obi.sometimes short kimono.So this actor cared for the length of his kimono.Japanese strange foreigne costume made this scotish actor unhappy .Cultural differences.

It must have been so hard to accept different things in those old days.I can imagine how it was.Iunderstand 19 century normally European men wore Gaun or Jacket and trousers, If short kimono with Japanese tights look sinful for gentleman.So that trully make sense what this main actor talked about ."This short kimono is just sinful."

In Europe a gentleman was always seen wearing the best attire. With his wool evening tail coat or Double breasted suit he wore his charming top hat. The suits sported wide lapels during the early Victorian Period. White shirts were worn with the stiffened collars high about the neck during the 1830's. It wasn't until 1840 that men wore their collars down. Shirts were made of linen or muslin. A roll collar vest went over the shirt. It was made of either wool, linen, muslin or silk.

Court dressing was a formal style of dressing for men. But, later in the mid 1800's, country dress became a more comfortable style of clothing. The wardrobe consisted of a short-tailed jacket, riding hat (top hat), vest and boots. This outfit could be worn when riding horseback. Top hats were worn with formal and country suits. In any case, country suits were easier wear for men of that time. So Kimono and 19 century European's gentleman to be style was completely different.I can imagine late 19 century's actor when he had to put short kimono on during his playing on the stage.How terribly he felt about that.

My dream is to make my own hotspring bath outside of my summer house, looking at sky, moon , stars, or falling snow.Sake celler from various parts of Japan.and hinoki wooden bath, sauna room.Hinoki wood has lovely odour.Or BUna trees as well.I love Japaense wooden smell.Although just once in my life, I was moved by the so beautiful odour of wood and trees in Madagascar, deep inside of forest.Unforgetable odour.

So in this movie, some mistaken description was said .Historically local peoples in villages in Japan they loved enjoying taking a hot bath in their villages.Bath is our culture.Hot springs were and are located all over Japan.That how nowdays all peoples enjoy taking hot bath everyday.Tradition can never be made in just one day, so you will be able to see how we have loved to take a hot bath in hot spring generation to generations.Just like Yasuragi in Sweden.That world is our everyday's life and nothing special for us.Probably sauna for finish and some swedish for everyday during cold time.

What I miss in sweden, hotspring &hot bath with full moon and snow in winter and odour of flowers or sounds of river but no agressive swedish summer mosquite .
The best solusion is that winter hot bath looking at sky with full moon and white snow covered trees.I love to take a hot bath looking over the night views as well.So probably the easiest way is to make bath in my kitchen ?where should I locate my kitchen?well, well, well...
