Wasn't this haircut something the manches forced on chinxese as a literal humiliation ritual?

For the longest time I thought this was some joke a bald samurai somehow convinced the others to do

Might be probably the look they were trying to achieve with that haircut

>>212018219
>tfw reading that the Chinese were so buck broken that they actually kept the haircut when they moved to America

It's apparently meant to help the helmet fit better on their head
The obvious question of course would be why not redesign the helmet instead but there you go

Kind of makes me feel bad tbf

It absolutely does not, I wouldn't rather shave my head completely and never be allowed to grow it out for the rest of my life then that shit

the bowl cut european nobility had during the middle ages always looks horrible
every medieval era game/show/movie wanting historical accuracy always seems to find a way not to use it

>>212018238
it is, young samurai cut top of their hair to show reverence to older samurai who lose their hair, an older tradition becoming social norm over the centuries

chinese laborers in america were still subjects of qing, they couldn't become normal migrants
