In a small country, heavily influenced by Confucianism, there is a long tradition of making female submission the highest moral standard. Noblewomen are subjected to a great deal of constraints and modifications from adulthood that are considered reasonable and legal, with no autonomy whatsoever. If a woman of honorable status did not wear a great deal of fine detention clothing, she would be reduced to a laughing stock among nobles and clans throughout the empire. Even princesses and princesses need to wear shackle-like gowns and jewelry all the time, and rely on the help of maids and servants like marionettes in order to move around.
