Pantsu panties in Japan
The Japanese word “panties” [pants] is often used to refer to ordinary panties. In fact, it is a transliteration of the English word “panties”, pronounced in the Japanese manner.
The borrowing of both the subject and the word indicates that it originated in 20th century Japanese culture. There was not a single sick person in the traditional Japanese set of clothes. Japanese women wore kimonos and sometimes hakama or tsuro-germers. If you accidentally lifted the hem of the kimono, then everything could be seen in its natural form.
Panties only entered Japanese life under strong Western influence after World War II. There are pessimistic urban legends about the spread of panties in Japan, related to the Shirokia store disaster.
This department store is one of the oldest in Japan. It was opened in 1662 and was constantly expanded until the 20th century. In 1903, its branch was decorated in Western style. But then a chain of disasters followed that destroyed the company.
In 1923, a strong earthquake occurred on the mainland, completely destroying the main building. On December 16, 1932, there was a fire in the store, and urban legends linked it to the spread of panties in Japan.
At this time, the department store was having a Christmas sale, and the entire interior was richly decorated in Western style. The fire started early in the morning in the toy department. One of the eyewitnesses claimed that the cause of the disaster was an electric spark that slipped through the garland decorating the Christmas tree.
Soon, the mobile phone toys hanging on the tree caught fire, and the fire began to spread quickly. The staircase system in the building acted like an oxygen furry, and the fire almost immediately engulfed several floors of the building. The stairwells filled with acrid smoke, cutting off the path to escape.
People in the building were forced to go to the upper floors rather than to the roof. Many were able to jump into the protective nets stretched by firefighters. Others tried to make friends with ropes woven from clothes or curtains. In this way, about 80 people were saved. In total, 14 people died and 67 were injured during the fire.
The use of panties establishes the following connection between urban legends. Women in traditional kimonos (each without panties) were embarrassed to jump into the netting erected by firefighters. If they jumped, the kimonos would flutter, exposing their genitals and body parts. Thus, the women would sway and, as a result, perish in the fire.

The average internet user has likely encountered various images of erotic characters in this style many times in their lives.
After the fire, the department store management indeed ordered all saleswomen to wear panties, and soon the fashion for underwear began to spread across Europe.
Historians strongly refute the legend about this city, claiming that it was fabricated and launched by those promoting Western interests in Japan. However, this story is also documented in many Japanese reference books published by the Fire Safety Administration. Panchira and pantsu

The expression “panchira” is believed to have appeared in Japan simultaneously with the popularization of panties. Its origins lie in the Hollywood film “The Seven Year Itch.” The iconic scene with Marilyn Monroe”s flowing skirt captivated Japanese audiences. The prospect of seeing lace panties fluttering in the wind became a true sensual fantasy for countless Japanese who had adopted Western customs.

In 1907, a clause prohibiting the distribution of erotic material was added to the Japanese Penal Code. Today, genitals and pubic hair are considered “obscene.”
Before World War II, nudity was considered obscene because censorship was very strict. However, after the war, censorship began to weaken, although articles of criminal law continued to be in effect.
The ban on the sale of erotic stories in 2000 led to massive sales of Japanese products (mostly perverts with pornographic scenes) to the West.
The Japanese are used to censorship and don”t complain. At the same time, censorship gave rise to numerous and varied fetishes. Since genitals themselves are taboo, official anime and other films focus on what soon becomes a fetish. Therefore, censorship turned the contemplation of women”s panties into a special erotic pleasure for Japanese viewers. This fetish is very popular in anime, manga, movies and various media.
The term “striped pants” is closely related to punks or panchira. This means striped pants. This style is often found in anime.
Panties Panties continuously flashing across the animation screen are part of the Pantyra phenomenon that became widespread in the early 2000s. Capturing consumers” attention with the panty effect has become commonplace in commercials and magazine advertising.
The fetish has become so widespread that special sounds made by the device during filming have been officially installed on mobile phones. Thanks to these measures, panty and panty lovers will no longer be able to secretly photograph women”s panties in miniskirts on the street.
