The Status of Women in Japan and the Movie "Flea Samurai" In many film and television works and related reports, Japanese women are often portrayed as gentle, virtuous, obedient, and of low status. Some even dream of marrying a Japanese wife. However, is the status of Japanese women really so low?In fact, the status of women varies from country to country. Although there are some places where the status of women is low, there are also places where women enjoy considerable dominance. Japan is no exception. In early Japan, there were some places where women had a high status, and there were even some shops that catered specifically to women. In Edo period Japan, these shops were not called "cowherd shops", and the waiters were not called cowherds, but were called "flea killers". This film is based on Shigeo Komatsu's ** "Flea Waiter" as the original work, telling the story of a male protagonist with a samurai dream in his heart. Although when he was a "waiter", the male protagonist still played the role of a samurai, even with a double sword.
The male protagonist was originally a samurai, but because he offended the powerful, he was demoted to "** samurai" Kobayashi Kannojin. Not only was he devastated when he became a "flea warrior", but he was also treated unfairly as a real samurai. At his first job, he met a female customer, Xiaofeng, who looked like his dead wife. Maybe it was his own lack of ability, or maybe the other party looked too much like his wife, he worked hard but was not happy, and was quickly defeated and complained. This blow inspired the male protagonist's bushido spirit, which was originally not admitting defeat, and he was not crushed, but rose up to work hard. The film shows the complexities of the status of women in early Japan, while also showing the challenges and growth of the male protagonist. The storyline is gripping and shows the fragility and resilience of human nature. The film combines elements of Japanese history and culture to present a vivid picture for the audience that is worth watching.
