We have only limited information on Japanese pinafores. We have noticed tweo types of garments, standard pinafores and a kind if smocvk pinafore. Neither pinafores or smocks are common at Japanese schools, especially after kindergarten. Pinafores were not very common at Japanese schools, even less common than smocks, but we do notice a few examples. We mostly see smocks and pinafores at uniform schools, especially private schools, but some appear to have been worn at non-uniform schools as well. We see both colored and white pinafores being worn at some Japanese schools. So far we have mostly noticed them being worn by kindergarten children for lunch or activities like art. We are not sure what the Japanese term is for pinafore. We see children at a school here that seem to be wearing short sleeve smocks, kind of a cross beteen a smock and pinafore (figure 1). The difference being that a smock is usually long sleeved and has a back. Pinafores on the other hand do not have sleeves and are open at the back. Both smocks and pinafores were common in Europe, but we have never seen a garment like the ones here being worn by boys and girls.

We are not sure just gow pinarores and smocks were used at Japanese schools. They may have been worn the entire school day. Or they may have been wirn fir just part of the school day such as art or linch. This is not yet cklear to us.
