Why are there "crying clothes" in Japan?

Although many animal species shed tears, emotional crying is a unique activity of human beings. Whatever the reason, many people think that expressing their feelings in this way can be both thorough and healthy. In Japan, entrepreneur Hiroki Terai even took this belief as a business strategy. He is the founder of a crying service group, encouraging everyone to cry together and wiping tears for "handsome crying boys".

In Japan, it is called Richa or "tearing", which is especially popular with women and is said to relieve stress. In the short film A Handsome Man Crys, filmmaker Daryl Thomas explores this unusual practice and why its founder thinks it can bring people together.

When Thomas was young, he said, "When I was 2 1 year old, I started working as a photographer in a company in Tokyo." . He believes that childish, wide eyes absorb all strange and unusual things-endless charm. Then, he recalled an essay satirizing a company, "Send a handsome guy to cry for a Japanese woman.

For people in western society, this kind of crying seems unorthodox-even very strange. But for many cultures around the world, expressing sadness or anger is considered taboo, and the ceremony leading to adulthood determines that emotions must be suppressed or even eliminated.

In fact, among the 37 ethnic groups surveyed by the international adult crying research, Japanese people are the least likely to cry, while Americans are the most likely to cry.

Etiquette is an important concept in Japanese culture-from pouring tea and arranging flowers to traditional samurai and karate training, there is always a ceremony. It helps to program ideas and make them accept change. There is a ceremony on the way to marriage. Without the ceremony, many people will feel confused and have no sense of completion.

In many divorce cases, women are often the initiators. Many Japanese men work more than 14 hours and often work on weekends. Their free time may include playing golf or sleeping all day to prepare for the upcoming work. Therefore, the "crying service" was originally designed for divorced women, but found that others also benefited from it.

Many people behave differently from the people they attract. When some people are around you, you will find that some experiences are more emotionally attractive, students' inflation and their hearts beat faster. Other signs can only be satisfied from the experience of crying.

After crying, the joy that women feel is obvious-after that, they are all smiles, enthusiastic, relaxed and even talkative.

In Japanese society, most people-especially those women who enter high-pressure positions-can relieve the stress of the day by crying and realize a sense of satisfaction.

Perhaps in other cultures, there are more virtual relationships than actual interpersonal relationships, and the demand for such services may increase.
