What is Zentai?
Zentai is a common term in Japan for skin tight suits that cover the entire body, including feet, hands and head. This name is originated from Japanese “ゼンタイ”, an abbreviation of “全身タイツ”. Zentai is most commonly made using nylon/spandex blends, but other materials such as cotton and wool are used as well. At the very beginning, Zentai is mainly used for performance like modern dance. The advantage of this is to make artist anonymous and it can fully present the nice curves of figure, bringing great visual presentation to the audience.
