Japanese Muslim woman Sahar Nakayama talked about her life in the land of the rising sun and how her compatriots relate to her.

Sugar was born in Japan, the girl has both Japanese and Pakistani roots. She grew up in Tokyo and has been wearing a hijab since the age of 5.

Japanese elementary schools have a strict school uniform policy and Sugar's parents had to notify school officials in advance of their daughter's shawl. Fortunately, there were no problems, and the girl was allowed to attend school wearing a hijab. In high school, the uniform became free, and the teachers were completely neutral about the headscarf on Sugar's head.

According to Sahar, Japanese etiquette prescribes not to comment on someone else's appearance, so a Muslim woman wearing a hijab does not face bias from her compatriots.

In recent years, loose fitting and maxi lengths have become a trend in Japan, making it much easier for local Muslim women to find clothes in stores.
