JAPANESE WOMEN
The life of the Japanese woman of yesterday was largely occupied in very elaborate routine, such as the tea ceremony, Japanese dancing (which is individual, quite different from ours), flower setting and listening to weird, slow, monotonous Japanese music. These things are passing away. The ladies would rather dance in European fashion and to European music. They prefer concerts and wireless and the cinema to the tea ceremony. Leading European musicians now regularly visit Japan and have large audiences there.
At fiYst, when Japanese women started to wear European dress in place of their own, foreigners laughed. The women did not know how to put the clothes on, and our fashions did not seem to suit them. Today most Japanese ladies can wear European dress as gracefully as their sisters in London or Paris.
