Buru" is anglicized Japanese (Japlish) for "bloomers" and "sera" for "sailor"; the term refers to the sailor suit, the predominant style of girls' junior and high school uniforms. We'd read that this practice ended in 1993 and reported as much in the original of this article (which was penned in 2001), but since that time numerous readers living in Japan have written to say that not only haven't the machines gone away, but that they've themselves seen them. I don't give a rats what you wear to school as lond as its not distracting and can put yourself in harms way, as long as you're learning.I can understand having guidelines so no child is treated differently, but saying what color underwear a child should wear is severely pushing it.

Dozens, if not hundreds, of magazines are exclusively devoted to bura-sera photographs, pictures that feature girls clad in school garb, holding up their skirts to display their panties. Good old Japan -- making it a rule to dictate the color of a little girl's underwear, and then even being allowed to check.

This isn’t a regulation that all schools in Japan have, and even among Japanese people there are those who think the rule is going too far. It is a word of Japanese origin, coined by combining burumā ( ブルマー), meaning bloomers, as in the bottoms of gym suits, and sērā-fuku ( セーラー服), meaning sailor suit, the traditional Japanese school uniforms for schoolgirls; notably kogal.Back in 1993 vending machines filled with used underwear “guaranteed” to have been worn by a real Japanese schoolgirl started popping up in large numbers.
