Bath in a japanese household

One day a friend asked why my wife
never stopped for the night
at her parents home
after she'd been shaved "to be gone".

The answer in in the screen shots below.

In a family women take their bath together
what would have thought her mother
seeing a "no hairs" area
between her daughter's legs?
At that time it was a mark for prostitute
(she was not yet)
or for porn actresses
(She'd never been)

Note: the towels are
for censorship in the movie
or for public purpose; in private
there was nothing to hide.
Think only about the view of tattoos
or piercings.

In any case: shaving, tattoos or piercings
my wife would have been
expelled from her family
