Haikara
My grandmother often used to say 'it's Haikara', every time she saw something in a new style. This word was used from the Meiji period (1867-1912), derived from the phrase 'high collar'. Because at that time, European clothes came from abroad to Japan and especially high collar shirts became popular among Japanese men.
With the changing times, Japanese people rarely wear everyday kimono, so this word is out of use. But 'Haikara' gives you retro-inspired images.
From the people's perspective of the past, everything must be 'Haikara' in modern days, beyond all imagination. About 100 years from now, what Japan would be like then?
