If you think your shoes are uncomfortable, think again!! The following pictures show the latest fashion rage in Japan. These shoes actually look so uncomfortable that I can't imagine anyone wearing them. You think that modern Japanese women are crazy?? Think AGAIN!! In the old days Japanese most beautiful and talented women were called Geisha. They were entertainers whose skills included performing various Japanese arts, such as classical music and dance. Contrary to popular belief, geisha were not prostitutes. But they were supposed to look their best at all times. Back in those days small feet were considered beautiful. And naturally not all the women had small feet so they made them small by tying all sorts of bandages around their feet so they would tighten up and fit small shoes. I guess that this is the modern way of achieving that. In the last seven pictures an old woman, who was a Geisha in her youth, showed the world what it meant to be beautiful in Japan in those days. Horrible!!
