Kuroda Fukumi, a well-known actress and columnist in Japan, said, “A typical Japanese person aims for a 100% level of completion in any work that they do. No, in fact, they probably believe that delivering 120% is even better. Even though it is your first time trying it out, there are no room for mistakes. When a task is finished, rather than being happy at what one has managed to accomplish, they will constantly be checking for whether there are faults. And even if there are no faults, they believe that some points of error could still eventually be spotted, and thus continue to worry upon them”.
Let’s not get it entirely confused. This culture centered around perfectionism in order to attain perfect results is once again also the fundamental contributing element of many of the vastly positive aspects of Japan that we all know and genuinely appreciate. For instance, in Japan, one rarely has to worry about whether a subway train will be arriving on time or not, due to the immaculate railway system that has been installed in Japan, as well as the diligent employees who aims towards perfect execution on a daily basis, without the slightest of deviations. Same can be said for the historically high quality of Japanese products in general, or the immaculately made Japanese bonsai, to the exquisitely prepared kaiseki cuisine.
But as much as there are conspicuous positives in regards to such a culture of perfectionism and its entailed manifestations, there is also a dark side to such a culture that is heavily geared towards having everything to be visibly “perfect”, in which I will discuss in today’s video.
So let’s get into it.
