Suriyaki -World War 2 -Student #Renascentia

During World War II, student uniforms became militarised and were altered to accommodate the fact that schoolgirls were being drafted as factory workers to replace men who had gone to the front lines. Wearing skirts was deemed impractical and so loose slacks known as Mompe (a traditional Japanese farming outfit) were issued as alternatives. Students were also required to wear large name tags (na-fuda) bearing their name, address, and blood type for emergency identification. Additionally, head-protecting cushions (boku-zukin) were distributed to prepare for air raids.
