Given how Japan glosses over its atrocities and even reveres its war criminals at Yasukuni, nobody would bat an eye if you strolled down a Tokyo street dressed in Imperial garb.
Honestly Germany is one of the very few countries in the world that doesn't take pride in it's military history and is filled with self hate. Almost everyone else is very proud of their past even if they were just as murderous as Hitler, like in Russia Stalinist statues are still popular and Mao is still on all Chinese banknotes regardless how many more people than Hitler they killed. Even in Italy people aren't particularly negative about dressing up with ww2 uniforms or wearing historical clothes in turkey is something to be proud of regardless of the Armenian genocide. The US isn't hating itself about what they did to the indians or in the Philippines or in Guantanamo, gitmo or Afghanistan. Really it's just Germans that has been thought from birth that they should not be proud to have almost won fighting against most of the world but to hate themselves for those that died. People in Italy are super proud of roman emperors even if Trajan and vespasian killed millions of Jews in the conquest of Judea and the during Jewish rebellion. So honestly it's just the Germans hating themselves over their history.

Great video and very informative. It was great to see How to wear every item. I was surprised by the basic design of the Type 99 Tako backpack. It looks like an evolution of the prussian style backpack we use in the parade uniform of the Chilean Army's Escuela Militar (Officer School) and in a simplified form in the NCO School. The "marmita"( I don't know the English Word for the metal food container and pot combination) looks very simmilar. Our packs had a wooden frame and were fastened to the ammo pouches via bronce hooks. But the principle is the same. I also got to use the last model of field pack with the poncho and cloth objects tied in a horseshoe shape around the pack. I understand that contemporary school backpacks used by children in Japan are based on old European Military models, maybe there is a conection but I don't know.
Yes, like the Chilean ones, the wood frame backpack was based on the German model but reduced in size to fit the stature of the average Japanese person at the time.
Thanks for uploading this quite interesting video. Here in Europe we don't really see the Japanese or other Asian militaries covered, so yeah, well done 👏
good video, I noticed the IJA tied their puttees different then their western counter parts. I've also notice being a collector/reenactor of WWII uniforms and gear, how the Japanese kit was very simple but functional with greater use of tying parts together. For example, tying the pack to the waist belt verse American counter parts that had clips. Just interesting differences and very well done!
Metal was expensive, and they were all already pretty good at tying our cloths and anything they're trying to carry like a bag on a regular basis even with the westernization. It made alot of sense and cheaper to just tie stuff together.
Even their army boots have a very simple pig leather structure, it was just the soles that were complex. Japan was a poor country, so they could only afford to spend on parts that yielded the greatest dividends
I find tying puzzling (having used tied trousers in the rain, going for a pee can take time), the wholeand the use of leather belts and pouches shows they still have a good budget. (edit) The Viet Cong Black Pajama giving a lower budget reference

The Japanese Imperial Army did have a unit of White Russians who fled eastward after the Russian revolution. Was there uniform any different? Not much info on them. Not even sure what equipment or weapons they were issued.
They were a unit under the Manchukuo Imperial Army. Their uniforms would be similar to Japanese ones but with Manchukuo insignia and ranks. Weapons can range from Japanese origin to Chinese captures.
Awesome video man! I love comparing uniforms. Biggest one for me is the amount of kit and the rather drawn out time it seems to take to get kitted out for a fight. And I believe the uniforms were wool, were they not? I just can’t imagine! Very cool video. Thanks. Gonna help in my painting my model kits as well.
You, and other channels similar, bring the young men who fought and braved through the war, whose lives had been taken away so tragically, back to life. Thank you ❤
Request: you fine folks camping in the field with some of this gear. I use the Japanese tube pack favored by artillerymen as my day-pack and bushcraft bag and I love it. Would be interesting to see a night in the "jungle" and how the kits work
Very well done video! Thanks for demonstrating the tying of the helmet!!! I am not Japanese but I’m in the process of restoring a original Type 90 Helmet and am just trying to get it set up properly for my collection.👍
Very well done. Thank you. I learned a great deal from your presentation. I recently purchased an original, complete with liner, helmet that was brought back to the US. Would be equivalent to the Japanese Marines based on the front insignia. You demonstrated the proper way to tie the straps. Thank you again.
THIS WAS REALLY GREAT ! I THOUGHT I HAD LOGICALLY FIGURED OUT THE PROPER WAY TO TIE JAPANESE HELMET CHIN STRAPS , AND THIS VIDEO FINALLY CONFIRMS THAT I WAS CORRECT ! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !
Thank you for the video! It would be interesting to see how quickly a real IJA private first class (an experienced well drilled soldier of 1.5+ years of service) would have dressed up like this. I guess a factor of 3 quicker
I bought a very similar jacket at a fashion store online called La Redoute! It is a beige safari jacket , the overall cut is nearly the same , it is a French fashion house , it is amusing ! Real fashion is never outdated
Wow there is a lot of straps that are tied interwoven between the different pieces of the uniform and bags. It must had taken some time for the soldiers to put on their garments. Thanks for the informative video.
Fascinating! Thank you for doing this since we often see re-enactors for the European and US military forces. It is remarkable to see the kit of a Japanese infantryman. Familiar yet so different based on the culture of Nippon! Thank you.
when i watch this clip, i cannot forget the Nanjing Massacre of 1937-38 when those Japanese soldiers done to Chinese Civilians. My grand grandfather was employing and working for Red Cross in Nanjing during that period.
Interesting. I wonder how it would compare to german WWII uniform (which I'm familiar with) since some things seem more simplistic yet more practical, but some seem more uncomfortable.
WWII IJA equipment is pretty much a simplified evolution of German equipment from the 1880s/90s. I personally find it more comfortable to wear than German kit since there's less stuff hanging from the belt.
@@hattorihan7503 That would probably depend on the configuration of the german kit. Even if I have all on the belt, it can be made relatively comfortable if I use belt hooks (which would be similar to japanese system, although the japanese seems more simple, but fragile). On the other hand, the japanese kit seems to have a lot of things hanging on shoulder straps which I would assume would have to be very irritating on the shoulders (my shoulders are always sore when I use Y-straps, or even just shoulder strap for gasmask can, since japanese have canteen attached by shoulder strap, then that by itself must be irritating).
Yup! It functions like the 3 point chinstraps you see in modern ballistic helmets, so its quite snug on the head. Also allows a soldier to tie it across his back when not in use.
@@hattorihan7503 Looking at it the three point helmet seems to pop up through history, here is that Samurai Kabuto: www.samuraimuseum.jp/shop/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/OG109347-scaled.jpg The Romans also had three point helmet straps as well and speaking as a Roman reenactor myself our helms are quite snug.
My great-grandfather was a professional military personnel.（The rank was second lieutenant） My great-grandfather also went to war in this way. Thank you for the good video.
I have always wanted to do a IJA or IJN impression but I’m not sure because I’m half Japanese and half European (but I look more European than Japanese). Greetings from Japan 🎌

Very interesting! Where did you buy those cool uniforms and weapons?
I bought a very similar jacket at a fashion store online called La Redoute!
It is a beige safari jacket , the overall cut is nearly the same , it is a French fashion house , it is amusing ! Real fashion is never outdated
Japanese uniform have a lot of influence from French ones
Imagine you were the farmer during WW2 how scary naw
Wow there is a lot of straps that are tied interwoven between the different pieces of the uniform and bags. It must had taken some time for the soldiers to put on their garments. Thanks for the informative video.
Must of been boiling wearing two layers of fabric in the humid jungle
This very good 👍 on Japanese imperial WW 2 army uniforms
i am myanmar😢😢
Fascinating! Thank you for doing this since we often see re-enactors for the European and US military forces. It is remarkable to see the kit of a Japanese infantryman. Familiar yet so different based on the culture of Nippon! Thank you.
너무 멋지고 한번 입어보고 싶지만 한국에서 이거 입고 돌아다니다간 맞아죽겟죠? ㅋㅋ
В Китае будет ещё жёстче за такую одежду и особенно если держать в руки флаг Японской империи
우리 할아버님 옛날 대동아전쟁때 조선인 일본해군육전대 장교로 참전하셨는데
when i watch this clip, i cannot forget the Nanjing Massacre of 1937-38 when those Japanese soldiers done to Chinese Civilians. My grand grandfather was employing and working for Red Cross in Nanjing during that period.
感谢你的祖父曾经帮助过中国❤
Not sure how the internet would react if German wore their WW2 uniform
oh please, nazi were much gentler and humane compare to japanese soldier
You should go to Unit 731 to find any documents left over from the war
La colocación del casco recuerda al "men" que es para Kendo y al Kabuto de los samurais
Beginilah kostum yang pernah menjajah dan membantai kami bangsa Indonesia dahulu.
Interesting. I wonder how it would compare to german WWII uniform (which I'm familiar with) since some things seem more simplistic yet more practical, but some seem more uncomfortable.
WWII IJA equipment is pretty much a simplified evolution of German equipment from the 1880s/90s. I personally find it more comfortable to wear than German kit since there's less stuff hanging from the belt.
@@hattorihan7503 That would probably depend on the configuration of the german kit. Even if I have all on the belt, it can be made relatively comfortable if I use belt hooks (which would be similar to japanese system, although the japanese seems more simple, but fragile). On the other hand, the japanese kit seems to have a lot of things hanging on shoulder straps which I would assume would have to be very irritating on the shoulders (my shoulders are always sore when I use Y-straps, or even just shoulder strap for gasmask can, since japanese have canteen attached by shoulder strap, then that by itself must be irritating).
@@fanta4897 so which uniform would you find more comfortable?
@@danelassiter6809 I don't know until I try both. I suppose I would be biased towards german one anyway since I'm already used to it.
German ww2 uniform is cool
I let my great grandfather watched this video, idk why he grabbed a broomstick like a gun and his face was filled with rage and fear

Wow! Take a B&W photo of yourself and you'd look just like a Japanese soldier from ww2.
Really cool.

Was the helmet cord system based on a Samurai's kabuto? It looks quite close to me and it is unique among all the helmets I have seen from the era.
Yup! It functions like the 3 point chinstraps you see in modern ballistic helmets, so its quite snug on the head. Also allows a soldier to tie it across his back when not in use.
@@hattorihan7503 Looking at it the three point helmet seems to pop up through history, here is that Samurai Kabuto: www.samuraimuseum.jp/shop/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/OG109347-scaled.jpg
The Romans also had three point helmet straps as well and speaking as a Roman reenactor myself our helms are quite snug.
My great-grandfather was a professional military personnel.（The rank was second lieutenant）
My great-grandfather also went to war in this way.
Thank you for the good video.
你还挺自豪？？
@@nanjingli2218 What's so hard to understand?
Hello great video, i am interested in japanese platoon and company organization and ranks and witch soldiers /NCO/ carried swords
I have always wanted to do a IJA or IJN impression but I’m not sure because I’m half Japanese and half European (but I look more European than Japanese).
Greetings from Japan 🎌
服部はん、一つ疑問があったんですが、あのヘルメットの付け方がNHKの戦争のドラマとかによく使われてるのと違うので、やっぱり年ごとに何かちがかったんですかね？
Love this vid. Was there any diffrence in officers field caps vs enlisted field caps?
Officer field caps typically had metal eyelets and a pentagonal backing on the star insignia
@@hattorihan7503 Arigato 🙇♂️
この装備で前線まで歩き続けたと言うのだから昔の日本人はすごい。
Very cool my friend.
I'm proud of our ancestors who fought with the strongest country, so I'm pleasure that I can find this video😁
I'm also looking forward to the next video!

チュねいさん he called japan the strongest, this is factually incorrect. Japan lost, got an ass kicking got nuked and surrendered. Losers
