Thoughts on historic revivalism?

This example is the Korean Imperial guard ceremony which was revived in 1996.

Is it just cosplay LARPing or do you think these revivals have some authenticity to it?

Should more countries follow suit and revive old traditions?

Koreans do a great job preserving their old cultures
They actually have a list of important protected cultural things including their gorgeous complex carpentry

>Get rid of Hanja
>Horizontal writing

Nah Koreans are more Westernized than Japan. They even use Western punctuation like spaces and "." instead of "。"

>imperial guard
>no emperor to guard

Really ferments the kimchi don't it

>Get rid of Hanja
>Horizontal writing
that happened in the 15th century so it has nothing to do with westernization

Considering the effort the Japanese put towards destroying it, it's impressive.

>That happened in the 15 century

No they got rid of it in the 80s

We have a few, like the cravat regiment and the honor guard battalion

I like it better when traditional skills are revived

it's cosplay. Nothing wrong with that though, cosplay is fun.

This.

Now if only we could get Minoan cosplay trending.

this looks so oriental

What am l looking at user?

Everything they have was torn down by the japs and then rebuilt in the 1970s

Minoan women had their tiddies out all the time

Historic revival and sense of ethnic belonging is forbidden in Western-Europe.

it's a mistake

>muh culchure
>muh tradishuns

LARPfags are cancerous, humanity will be better off without them.

>bruh we're all consumerist scum like myself lmao

>They even use Western punctuation like spaces and "." instead of "。"

So does China, who also got rid of vertical writing.
Switching to horizontal writing was because printing presses at the time could not print vertically. Instead of Asia designing all new printing presses they just decided to write horizontally and import western printing presses.

We aren't all cultureless like you am*rimutts
