In this episode, we dive into Kenson (謙遜) — the Japanese art of humility. But what does it really mean to be humble in Japan? Is Kenson just being modest… or is it actually a kind of self-deprecation?
In this episode, we explore:
- What the heck is Kenson, really?
- Is being humble in Japan just... polite self-hate?
- Where did this whole mindset come from?
- Can being too humble mess with your brain?
- Why are Japanese artisans so damn good at pretending they’re not that good?
- Ryusuke spills some real talk from his days in the world of shokunin
- Plus: a gem of a story from Katsura Sunshine, the Canadian dude doing traditional Japanese rakugo — and absolutely nailing it
