I have read a bit about these, about how the bride covers her metephorical horns, and I know where the hat originates from.. but I'm not sure about the exact meaning of Horn Hider because theorys differ..
the most popular theory is this:
A japanese wife submits to her husbands rule and hides her horns with a modest bonnet..
The second one is this:
"She has to hide her horns, you see, until she ties the knot. There is a western preconception about subservient Japanese women, but this is largely erroneous. In Japan women are usually firmly in control of the family, a fact of which Japanese culture itself is well aware. Thus the horns."
Effectively meaning that she'll appear sweet and innocent and then start (metaphorically) kicking her family into line
The second one sounds cooler, but might not be true, Is the meaning blurred? what do you think?
