Bakku-shan

The woman who is only beautiful from behind.

In a male-dominated world, this is sure to manifest itself in language. So with this word, whether it is contempt for women should remain unassessed here, they can decide that for themselves. First of all, it is a statement according to cultural circumstances and therefore exceptional or rather unique.

We'll never know if it applied to her, and if it did, it wouldn't matter with a hairstyle like that.

Brief cultural history

The Japanese islands were colonised in at least two waves: In the Jōmon period, people probably migrated to Japan from north-east Siberia, and in a second phase, the Yayoi period, via the Korean peninsula. The first agricultural techniques (dry farming) have also been documented from this period.

In the 7th century, Korean Buddhist monks brought not only religion but also Chinese writing, the Chinese classics and Confucianism to Japan.

The Heian period saw the first flourishing of the Chinese aristocracy, who developed their own poetry and literature under Chinese influence.

In the following eras, the country was repeatedly devastated by civil wars, as a result of which the sword nobility, the bushi, later known as samurai, rose to become the most important class. In addition to the art of warfare and swordsmithing, a new form of Buddhism, Zen, emerged, which appealed to the warriors.

It was not until the Edo period in the 17th century, under the Tokugawa, that the country came to rest again. The samurai became a civil servant class who preserved their warrior virtues in the martial arts, bujutsu or budō. The influence of Zen was now also reflected in poetry, garden art and music. Peace and economic prosperity also brought wealth to the fourth class, the merchants. As they were denied social advancement, the merchants sought a way to outdo the samurai in the arts. They promoted teahouses where the geisha practised the tea ceremony, flower arranging, music and dance. They also promoted kabuki theatre. Special entertainment districts were formed in the cities, especially in Edo, where the daimyō had to spend half the year under the direct control of the Shōgun.

Japan experienced a third cultural heyday in the post-war period, during which Japan produced a vibrant pop culture that combined Western influences and Japanese tradition.
