reviewed Hair: Its Power and Meaning in Asian Cultures on November 05, 2019 Hair
Through this book, I learned about East Asian culture and history deeply. Not only learn how hair was important, also learn how Confucianism influenced to East Asian culture. East Asian culture and American culture are pretty different. So, I was interested to learn East Asian culture.
