 Rating: - Touch the Jpanese girl's original heartstrings !This story tells you how typicall old time Japanese girl's psychology worked. Nowadays ( especially after WWII ) Japanese ladies are not so coward than those in old age. Maybe some of you who know Japanese women living in U.S. will be astonished and regard this story as nonsence, but we have to know its original figure through this story..... It tells you one of its real origin and you'll be able to see in rural Japan even today.
