Can anyone sent me detailed instructions on how the Japanese soldier tied the helmet to his head? Any information would be appreciated!

Why did they make the knots so complicated? Do the knots harken back to the helmeted Samuri days?Comment

Yes, the various methods of tying the chin straps was to mimic or rather continue the methods used when warriors wore armor.Originally posted by keith View PostComment

I have read that one reason for tying the chinstrap to form a "V" around each ear was to prohibit the helmet from sliding forward over the soldier's eyes when his forward impetous was quickly halted, such as diving to the ground. Obviously, a non-transparent steel helmet over one's eyes is a decided hindrence in seeing rapidly oncoming danger. Probably plays hell with the bridge of the nose, too.What are the correct kanji for "Ouch! Son-of-a-........."Comment

hmmm, I can only guess, but I think a literal translation would be:Originally posted by mcmike View Post
"itai! (fill in ) no batsuchan"
the fill in I think you're looking for is "onnanoko inu" but I think I've also found a slang term for this.
in jpn, sentences are usually written w/ a combo of hiragana and kanji:
"痛い! -------- の 坊ちゃん!"
with the traditional english fill in: 女犬 or possibly 雌犬
hope this helps with the jpn studies.
