We all wish to be happy.
However, when we observe through the lens of different cultures, we realize that even happiness, which many theorists consider to be the most universal emotion, has its own nuances.
Happiness depends on each person and each color.
Depending on the culture in which we live at the same time, there is a possibility that it differs.
When we live in a certain country (culture), it becomes "natural". In fact, there are quite a lot of studies on that culture and the national character based on it.
It is also called "culture shock". The Japanese country has been said to be at the top of the list for a long time, and there has been considerable research on that culture and the national character based on it.
An easy-to-understand example is "Honne and tatemae," "Conjecture (reading the air / tacit understanding)," "Agree with others," "Be in line with others around you," and "Worry too much about other people's eyes." On the other hand, many Japanese people function as excellent social skills, but on the other hand, when we provide daily medical care (counseling), it becomes a constraint and causes mental disorder.
A psychiatrist born and raised in Italy who provides medical care in Japan every day summarizes from the perspectives of non-Japanese and psychiatrists about "characteristics of the Japanese mind," "uniqueness of Japanese culture," and "how Japanese people can be happier while living in Japanese society."
