What is a piercing...?
Earrings are now a common accessory for both men and women.
When we think of earrings, we tend to associate them with stylish fashion accessories.
However, they actually have a long history and culture.
■ The History of Earrings ■
The history of earrings is ancient, dating back thousands of years to ancient European, Egyptian, Indus, and Indian civilizations.
At that time, earrings were not merely fashion items as they are today,
but were used as a 'talisman' to ward off evil.
The belief then was that illnesses were caused by demons, and that these evil spirits could enter through any open orifices.
Therefore, to combat these demons lurking in the darkness, a form of earring made from shining materials
was worn in pierced areas like the nose and ears.
The metalworking technology of the time was highly advanced,
so metal rings were used, which became the prototype for later earrings.
The custom of using earrings as talismans eventually faded with time,
and earrings as fashion items reappeared from the West after World War II.
From there, they spread to Asia, and although they faced social backlash in Japan until a few decades ago,
they are now cherished by many as an important fashion accessory.
