Unfortunately not all young Japanese men share their
vision.
As a result, it's not surprising that many young Japanese women, especially the college-educated ones, are
delaying marriage and sometimes even rejecting it. These
women want to combine work, freedom, respect and fun.
Many feel that having children may not fit into their life
plans. Observing this growing trend among the younger
Japanese, the government is concerned about the adverse
economic effects of a declining population in an ageing
society. In short, the future of Japan could be at risk.
Despite the Cassandra-like warnings of doom and
gloom, many Japanese “girls” - and here I am including
all ages groups - are refusing to conform to “traditional”
values. They believe in their dreams for a more equal
future which includes having fun - something that their
mothers and grandmothers never imagined and certainly
never enjoyed.
Now back to the theme of girls having fun. One of
the latest trends in Japan is Joshikai, the Japanese equivalent of “Girls' Night.” As often is the case with celebratory
activities, the Japanese have the special ability to redefine
a simple event and transform it into something unique.
Today Joshikai is more sophisticated than Girls' Night
in the US. Many restaurants, especially in Tokyo, are
offering a variety of tantalizing
options for “girls” who want to have
fun. These choices range from a
sophisticated modern Japanese menu
to a causal after-work pub serving
drinks (nomi-houdai = all you can
drink) and food.
From experience, I can assure you
that Joshikai is a wonderful way to
spend a night out with the girls.
These evening are great fun - so
much so that the boys would like to
join in too! But for now, Joshikai is
for girls only!
