Oriental Delight

Asian affinity with beards and moustaches is perhaps unparalled around the globe.

From great dreadlocked beards of indian sadhus, to the whispy tendrills of japanese samurai, beard growth in Asia is as wild as it is disiplined, and as unkempt as it is refined.

 

Holy Facial Hair

The religious origins of the asian beard are shrouded in mystery.

Despite the many forms of religious belief in the region, the teachings of buddha are referred to again and again in the various holy texts.

Only after meditating for several weeks was the buddha's beard of sufficient length for him to attain enlightenment.
