Did you know that in Japan in the feudal time, men who were Samurais had to tie their hair up in a bun and keep it like that forever? Well, if the Samurai went against the code of the Samurai or had to leave to go on a journey and never return, he had to cut the bun off his head with a sword and have the sword immedally purified? Well, now you know! Post something else that you know about Japan and expand our minds!!
