Magic Words or a Wall? A Japanese Teacher's Message on the Warmth of 'Sasshi' Hidden in Silence

“Why don’t they just say it clearly?” A student's question left me at a loss for words. The Japanese culture of 'sasshi' (reading the room) may seem vague and unkind. However, hidden behind it is a delicate kindness that seeks to avoid hurting others. An essay on the 'silent dialogue' for connecting hearts, which you won't find in textbooks.

Hall's context theory and the structure of 'amae', we thoroughly explain its multi-layered mechanisms from the perspective of a Japanese language teacher. We also explore the form of 'new sasshi' required in the modern era.
