Repeating a Piece of Clothing
It’s not unusual to see rows of clothes hanging outside on lines in Japan, especially in the early morning. This practice stems from a strong cultural custom of doing laundry daily in Japanese households. Wearing a piece of clothing twice without washing it is considered inappropriate in Japanese culture.
This meticulous attention to cleanliness and personal hygiene has sometimes led others to describe the Japanese as perfectionists who prioritize maintaining cleanliness in both themselves and their surroundings.
