Japanese schools appear to have a strong preference for blue. I am not sure why this is. Historic styles were Prussian cadet uniforms for boys and sailor suits for girls. Both of these styles were dark or navy blue. Perhaps this is why so many primary schools that have uniforms have adopted blue and white uniforms. Mistly
white shirts with blue shorts or skirts. Blue is not the only color. We note some schools, for example, which have grey uniforms. Other colors are much less common. It is difficult to quantigy, but we would estimate that something like 90 percent of the scghools that have uniforms have blue and white uniforms. There appear somewhat more variety at private than state schools.
