22 crazy pictures of Japanese women's wrestling that make you uncomfortable

Japanese women appear to us in the image of quiet, humble, graceful and modest creatures, endlessly pouring tea into the bowls of the guests of their house and finely mincing down the street with a ton of powder on their faces. At least, Japanese history draws such a picture. But, looking at the following photos, you will understand that not all Japanese women correspond to this idea.

Photographer Thomas Peter met completely different representatives of the fair sex from Japan, and to call him “weak” simply does not turn his tongue. All because these fragile creatures are professionally engaged in female wrestling. “Professional female wrestling in Japan is the pain of collisions and throws, sweat and defiant costumes,” says Peter. One can argue on the topic of a suitable and inappropriate occupation for women endlessly, but it is better to just look at those whom these considerations do not care about at all. Instead, they simply do what they want.
