It looks like the uniform was the modified version of Sokutai, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokutai.
This is the only uniform that was primarily based on the domestic Japanese design.
So, why was the uniform for the legal professions designed like this?
All the other uniforms were replaced with tailcoats and Patrol Jackets. However, only this uniform avoided this new trend.
After the Liberation of Korea in 1945, many Korean who were part of the IJA joined the Korean Army.
Many High-ranking officers were alumni of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy or the Manchukuo Military Academy.
It is hard to find some numbers or specific archives regarding this subject.
So,anyone who knows of this?
The most visible feature of the court uniform for the civil officals is that the tailcoat had an open neck with no lapel and collar.
Moreover, the wearers were required to wear a white bow tie as well.
Due to its unique design, I would like to ask who designed this and why it was designed like this.
As Far as I know, there was no other smiliar designs to this.
The British court Uniforms, which Japan modelled after, only had a tailcoat that could cover the whole torso with a stand collar.
Therefore, how this unique design was created?
The first one has a plume that looks like a mini tower of feathers without altering the shape of feathers.
The second one has a plume that looks like a bush of feathers with making feathers smaller than the first one.
So, why there are two types and what is the origin of these two plume types?
In many Transformers continuities, the Great War of Cybertron was ended because Cybertron became an unsustainable wasteland by the war.
It does not really depict about the final battle that ended the war or which side prevailed.
Due to this, what was the exact end of the Great War in Cybertron?
Was it really just over simply because there was nothing left to fight for and the majority of Autobots and Decepticons left the planet at some point?
Have you ever wondered why Captain leads a squad that is mixed with other Psycho-Warriors from the different legions?
I believe there are some type of a military attaché.
They were sent to promote better understanding between the legions as Diplomats.
Moreover, it is very likely that before this attaché programme, they had a constant civil war over a minor trouble and difference.
Therefore, this programme serves as the hostage tactic as well.
It will be like "We want a genocide, but one of us in the hands of the enemy, so, we cannot drop a Geno bomb".
They could capture the Mercs from the enemy team and interrogate them to acquire some infos.
However, they never do and commit a massacre towards unarmed menn who surrendered every time.
So, why?
During the Meiji Restoration, a suit was encouraged to wear.
The question is that who exactly led this change?
Please be advised that I am already aware of the origin of this suit obsession, which does not require to be reminded.
They did not have to be radical for adopting new types of cloth for the military and the administration.
However, they did.
They could have kept using stuffs that were useful and not required to be replaced, especially about the Clothing.
Soem Kepis, especially the Kepis that were used by the US forces during the US civil war, had its bented front part towards the outside.
What is the exact origin of this?
Is this French origin as well or does it have a different origin?
I have read many times that the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria was the final strike that made Japan to finally surrender rather than two Nukes at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
So, what is the truth?
Until the 19th century, the Royal Gaurds got the standard uniform from the Armed Forces.
However, it started to resist this in the late 19th century and froze in 1902.
I choose 1902 as the year when the Royal Guards were frozen in time because it was the year when the Dark Khaki Uniform was intorduced for the Home Service. This introduction officially retired the iconic Red tunics.
Therefore, what is this 19th century obsession?
Was there any special reason behind this?
The Shaguma/Haguma was the type of headgear worn by the officers of the Imperial Japanese Army troops in the Boshin War. Even, before the Boshin war, Samurais already decorated their helmets with the fur from various animals.
The question is that was there any relation between the Shaguma/Haguma and the Plume?
Considering their choice of colour, type, and the limited usage, it seems that adopting the plume was somewhat a revival version of the Shaguma/Haguma.
For exmaple, in terms of the colour choice, only Red and White plumes were selected. There were many other colours for the plumes, but only these two colours that were used on the Shaguma/Haguma were selected.
In terms of the type, there were generally 3 types of plumes at the time.
The first one was the pillar shape with a bushy vibe like the image above.
The second one was the bush shape that was used on the Bicorne hat.
The third one was the plume with unaltered feathers.
(If you do not get the third one, I am reffering this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Constable\_Dannatt.jpg.)
Despite the third one was widely used as much as the other two types, only two types, which had a bushy vibe were adopted.
These two had the same or smiliar texture with the Shaguma/Haguma.
In terms of the limited usage, only the High ranking officers in the IJA got the plume for their uniforms. It is quite odd since the Plume was not necessarily exclusive for the High Ranking officals.
In the French Army, the army that the IJA modelled after, the plumes were widely worn by common, lower- ranking enlisted soldiers across various branches of the army in the 1860s and the 1870s.
However, in terms of the IJA, they were already using plumes for the High Ranking officers only.
Due to all these, I would like to know whether there was a relation between the Plumes and the Shaguma/Haguma or not.
I am aware that the US Navy had a significant number advantage. However, in comparison with the loss of the IJN, it was very lower than the IJN loss.
They did not lose single ship, only 1 battleship was damaged, and the the number casualties were 109.
In terms of the IJN loss, 2 fleet carries were sunk, 1 fleet carrier and 1 battleship were damaged, and the number of casualties was near 3000.
So, why did the IJN inflict such a little damage?
They still had a menacing fleet that could cause a substantial damage at least.
It kinda looks like a modified Kepi rather than a regular Kepi.
At least for me, it looks like a hat that was mixed with a Peaked cap and Kepi.
In terms of the overall design, it has a circular design of a Kepi.
However, on the front, it has a black visor like a Peaked cap.
Even, the overall size, it does not really big as much as the French style Kepi.
So, did the the IJA modify?
