For friends who don't watch Japanese dramas often, if they start from the appearance association, many people should not love the male characters in it. They shaved off all their little hair, and it looked like a bald hairstyle, which looked ridiculous. But don't underestimate this hairstyle, it represents a position in Japan.

The effect of Japan's own Mediterranean bald hairstyle is Japan's "moon head". This seemingly greasy middle-aged man's hairstyle is actually a symbol of status, which can only be cut by people above samurai.

So why do warriors regard this hairstyle as a status symbol, mainly related to war?

First, in the battle, many samurai's long hair will spread out for various reasons, blocking the line of sight, thus affecting the battle. So cutting short hair can avoid this problem, so many people will cut their hair short, so why shave off the middle hair and turn it into the Mediterranean? This is related to the second statement.

Second, this hairstyle is for the convenience of soldiers wearing helmets. Long hair, especially the hair in the middle of the head, will make the helmet hang, which is not reliable and beautiful to wear, so they cut off the hair in the middle. At the same time, the advantage of doing so is that it can better cool and heat the head, and it is also conducive to the cleanliness of the head and the comfort of wearing.

This hairstyle first appeared at the end of heian period, but it really developed into the Kamakura shogunate era and became a popular hairstyle in the Edo era. Many adult men are proud to have their hair cut last month (only samurai and above can cut it short, ronin and Ashikaga can only cut it short)

Yutian Jun said: To sum up, the reason why the ancient Japanese left this ugly moon head was for the convenience of fighting, on the other hand, it was not a symbol of showing off their identity.
