Le parole del deserto - 3 minutes Italian

私はヨーロッパに住んだこととアジアに住んだことがあるのですが、ヨーロッパ人の美とアジア人の美は異なるところが多いとよく感じます。どちらが良いとか悪いという話ではなく、単純に美というものへの考え方の違いが面白いと思ったので今日はアジア人の美意識、特に日本人女性の美の基準について話したいと思います。

日本のメディアでは【色白】【くっきり二重】【鼻筋が通った鼻】【まつ毛がくるんとしている】【小顔】などの特徴があるとかわいい、美しいとされます。海外から帰国すると日本人は本当に美意識が高いなぁと感じ、驚かされます。身だしなみはもちろん、化粧品やファッションにもこだわりが強く、色々な商品が売られていると思います。また、街を歩くと自分のスタイルを持った方が多くてオシャレだなーと感じることが多いです。日本のファッションに興味がある方は原宿や渋谷に行ってみたり、日本のファッション誌を読んでみることをお勧めします。私の生徒さんでも日本のファッション誌を購読している方がいますが、日本のスタイルは自国のスタイルと違ってとても興味深いと言っていました。私もそう感じます。
