By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/4-ban-that-cannot-be-broken-japanese-women.htmlIn all ages, in different countries, for women there were many taboos associated with clothing, classroom, communication. For the most part, they are similar in all parts of the world. But Japan is a country charm, and bans for women here – not like everywhere. So, what is forbidden of women in Japan?
Omine mountain in Nara Prefecture, also known as mount Sanjō, one of the sacred mountains to the followers of the spiritual teachings sugando.
Here ascended hermits-yamabushi, believing that the way to the top Omine will allow them to turn away from the material world and to approach the spiritual world. It was believed that the presence of women will prevent the hermits to walk a spiritual path, creating the temptations.
Mountainside Mine many centuries is the pilgrimage path to the Shinto shrines of Kumano – and this is the only place on the mountain, where there might be women. But to rise above, to the temple Ominaeshi, they are forbidden. As a consolation, the women in the neighborhood there is another mountain, Inamura, called here "the female Owen". There the ladies entrance, of course, allowed.
Today Omine trails the mountains are still popular among tourists, but a modern tourist groups continue to comply with the ban. As told by local guides, hardly anyone will try to block the path of a woman if she decides to go to the top, but locals are proud of their history, except for this strange tradition, and can be very dissatisfied with the blasphemy.
The Japan sumo Association said recently that, because for centuries women were not allowed to appear at the site of sumo and generally be related to that struggle that violate the ban on their part would be an insult to the ancestors.
This statement was made in response to attempts to allow women to invite at least for the awarding of the sumo. But the leaders of the Japan sumo remained adamant.
It is surprising that in Japan, along with men, there are women's sumo, onozuka. This sport develops from the XVIII century, and they engaged in a lot of Japanese women of all ages. However, the status of professional athletes denied, anatomo exists only at the Amateur level.
Formal ban for women a capsule hotels do not exist, but almost all the hotels in Japan hangs a sign: "for men Only".
Capsule hotels won in Japan popularity not so long ago. They were originally intended for two categories of guests for businessmen who need to stay near the office that morning to paradisetravel to work, and gone on a spree drunks, living in the suburbs of big cities, which, sacidevi in bars, missed the train home.
Both in Japan made up exclusively of men, so the owners of the hotels decided to protect them from the corrupting influence of the weaker sex. So far, only four capsule hotel in Japan agree to be put on hold, and they are located in Metropolitan areas: a "Asahi Plaza" in Osaka, "green Plaza" in Tokyo and "nine Owers" with two offices in Kyoto and Tokyo's Narita airport.
Again, the official ban on this account do not exist – and yet, women chefs preparing sushi in Japanese restaurants do not find the day of the fire. The Japanese themselves have a number of very unusual explanations.
As he ZrO It, the owner of the restaurant "Sukiyabashi Jiro" with three Michelin stars, women do not have the right to be sushi chefs because of menstruation.
Other chefs say that female arm warmer men, and that female touch to the sushi can destroy their delicate taste. In General, every expert there is an explanation, but they are all United in their unwillingness to allow women to sushi restaurants.
