In recent days, a serious scandal broke out on the Network. After all, the winner of the national competition in Japan was Ukrainian. It became known that Karolina Shiino was born in Ukraine in the city of Ternopil. Today, the girl is 26 years old and she is a popular model in Japan. When she was five, her parents divorced and her mother married a Japanese man. Therefore, throughout her adult life, Caroline lived in Japan, studied in Japanese and since childhood absorbed the culture and history of Japan.



The girl considers herself a real Japanese. “When I was a child, I often had to deal with the fact that I was not like the other children. In my life, I have often encountered national barriers and discredit. I am grateful to the organizers of the contest “Miss Japan”, that it was here that I was recognized as Japanese, who I am both in language and in thought, – said Caroline on the stage of the competition. Her dream is to create a barrier-free society in which people are not judged by their appearance or nationality.

Perhaps in order to draw attention to the problems of Ukraine, Japan took such a step. But if you look closely at the appearance of Carolina, you can see that the way of life of the Japanese is reflected in her appearance. So it really matters where you live and how you think.
