For instance, in the west during the 1950’s celebrities such as for example, Ricky Nelson and Clint Eastwood would have both been considered “youthful” looking. But Ricky Nelson definitly had more of a “babyface” than Eastwood.

So maybe the question would be…do Japanese perceive some of their women (such as the woman pictured) to have ‘baby-like’ or “child-like” facial features as has been indicated?

It would be interesting to know.

I’m not sure if there’s a word for ‘baby face’ in Japanese to begin with… don’t think they used it often even if there is.

The more common word is perhaps ‘youthful’.

For instance, would this girl describe herself as babyface? Or would she say, “I don’t know what people mean”? We all percieve ourselves a little differently than others most of the time.

But I’m always curious, is that actually how Japanese percieve their women? or is it just a non-Japanese point of view? Gotta wonder sometimes.
