Forget The Knight In Shining Armor, Try A Samurai
Sunday 27 September 2009 @ 11:30 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 5 CommentsThe western world has renaissance fairs, which mainly attracts men wanting to play with swords and live an idealized and unrealistic fantasy of a cruel and chaotic time. In Japan it’s women who are attracted to the feudal era of Japan, wanting to play with swords and live an idealized and unrealistic fantasy of a cruel and chaotic time.
Rekijo, or female history geeks, are a new trend in Japan that has seen tourism at historical sites increase by up to 30%. They are looking towards a time when people had stronger resolves and beliefs, a harsh contrast to Japan’s ever docile society. From the video it seems a bit odd that this is happening but one you stop to think about it, it’s no different than knights, pirates, soldiers or cowboys. Armed Douchebags.
See, it holds true that the mean guy always gets the girl, and in these cases, the dead mean guys from several centuries ago get the girl.
