How to be angry, furious, enraged in Japanese




Whether the dear/deer has antlers or not, she’s still dangerous! Ha-ha



the kanji for anger consists of female, repeat and ‘on your heart’
this kanji is 5000 years old?  – (joke)





Don’t think that Japanese people don’t sense 
what is going on; they’ve figured it out right
from the start and they are just politely trying 
to avoid a confrontation. Underneath that calm
exterior lies a very sensitive soul.

What?! 
You mean that lovely Japanese lady?!
You mean that lady who always is so polite to us?!
And it’s bothered her for years that her husband left 
his dirty socks on the tatami when he left for work…

They removed his socks from … his nostrils?!

‘Houston, we have lift off…’
Remember though:

Still the best policy – particularly in Japan.

There are many witnesses in Japan.

People write…


And people talk…
People have v-e-r-y long memories.

And people talk…



To be realistic though: 
when Japanese people get angry 
after a long time of bottling it up – 
they really let fly! 
You’d better watch out!

Uh, oh… You’re in it now!
She’s got an umbrella and a handbag!

There is a more subtle way, 
a more Japanese way, 
of showing your opinion,
especially if you’re the Mum or the wife…









some national “pet hates”

insensitive people

miserly people

unkind people

immodest people

ungrateful people

selfish people

(in no particular order)

because they go against the


NATIONAL MOTTO

Group Comes First
Self Comes Second



And people talk…
(always in confidence, of course, just like in any other country)


Except that Japanese people speak very quietly
and also they tend to speak with their eyes…






Taking your anger out on someone is not smart; 
it’s a form of bullying, but in the real world…


Hang on… What about Japanese-style revenge?

 Fortunately for YOU

the Japanese are e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y patient. 

Ha~ha!
