My dreams always come together with striped pajama, since I preferred to wear striped one in my childhood. Never considered why nor recognized how. Afterwards I noticed that striped pajama get rid of devils while children sleep. When one is sleeping,he is completely absence of mind and unprotected.
It has been a long habit to lock the door and be care of the fire before one goes to bed. Since we did not have any hi-quality locks nor automatic security system like today's. Every one, who lived in old age and believed in devils or witches, went to sleep with so many fears than today that wished to sleep without any fears at least while one was sleeping.
Devil dislikes much striped patterns with high contrast, I heard, and never reached to it. But I do not know why it was nor who recognized it at first time. Understanding that was occurred in the middle age of Europe, because of devil history, I also found the fact that striped kite was played in new year days for wishing safety of children in Yamaguchi prefecture Japan. It was said "Oniyouzu"(getting rid of Devil) with white and red stripes in vivid colors. This story surprised me and made me start to think why devil dislikes that kind of stripes.
Believe or not, It is very good and right habit to wear striped pajama in order to have a good and calm sleep while every one can buy the striped one with ease.
Looking back to the past, many wisdom and contrivances made our lives safe and comfortable. We can not too much to admire the predecessors who invented striped patterns in the past. Through taking advantage of striped patterns, which everyone can recognize and use with ease,we people today and future can get our eternal prosperities and happiness.
