Judging from contemporary media, I don't think most Japanese people would consider that to be a "standard of beauty" today. Things change over time.

Wow, thank you for the article link. This explains a lot while looking at her. And it's impressive how historically accurate the film was with their display of beautiful women.

The traditional straight black haired beauty look still seems to be admired

[Anonymous No.]

>>11163396
Sure, but that's a bit different from the whole package of shaving your eyebrows, painting your teeth black, etc.

[Anonymous No.]

Most past beauties are actually ugly by today's standards. Some cultures used to be chubby lovers.

Things change.

>painting your teeth black

Well,it could be worse.

I always found it disgraceful when looking at pre Modern art that most of them girls were chubby

[Anonymous No.]

>>11163502
From what I understand, the view that chubbiness was attractive had to do with the scarcity of food. People who were more affluent had access to more food and would thus be fatter. Poorer people would be thinner due to a lack of food. So they were admiring the look of wealthy people.

Yes, my biology teacher held that idea too. Still, I really can't appreciate a girl as attractive if chubby (2d and 3d)

Perhaps you would have felt differently half a century ago.

[Anonymous No.]

I meant half a millennium, not century. I'm tired.

Might be true but not the whole story.
Look at the ideal held in, say, the 50's: Significantly rounder than today, even though food was abundant (in the western world).
Beauty ideals usually make little to no sense.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11163552
Maybe that was a holdover from older times. Skinniness being valued as attractive didn't begin in the West until the 60s, when our culture started to be turned upside down and shredded. I'm not surprised that prior to that there was still a more traditional perception of beauty.

Would fug.
Possibly just thought she was the bwst actress for the job. Not saying I think she us beautiful though. Her eyes are aesthetic to Japan by faint prodruding of lids and elongated slant that is very latitude.
>>11163298
Eye brows.

WOAH UGLY!

[Anonymous No.]

She has very smooth skin.

I like that in a pretty girl.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11163428
we sort of still are. I think it's more biological than 'wealth admiration'. A woman with healthy proportions will most likely survive pregnancy. Perhaps not attractive for chubbies, straight out, but attraction to healthy physiques (non skin and bones)

I wonder if those things are collectible like pogs

>>11166036
the modern standard of beauty is schizophrenic. women obsess over being thin and shit like purses shoes while men only care about big butts and revealing shirts. the difference between people magazine beautiful and bangbros beautiful is like comparing op's woman to marylin monroe.

It's really quite disappointing that heroin chic fell out of fashion.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11163502
I thought it looked kinda nice. I like slender body types but for some reason slightly chubby and full is appealing too. What I can't stand is landwhales posing to be chubby when they're really obese. That shit's nasty.

What movie is this then? Rashomon?

Ugetsu Monogatari

[Anonymous No.]

>>11169972
Ooooh I know Ugetsu! I haven't watched it yet though. I know it's a chilling ghost story though. On the Criterion Collection it's has a quote calling it the most frighting ghost story in modern film ever told. Yet I have not purchased it nor downloaded it.
