‘100 Years Of Beauty In Japan’ Video Reveals How Much History Shapes Fashion.

In Japan, Western fashion and beauty has been tremendously influential over the years, and this video captures it all in a few short minutes. The video begins with a look at Japanese beauty in 1910, during the Meiji Restoration. During that time, Japanese noblewomen were sent to Europe to study what was in fashion, bringing their knowledge back with them.
