One of the strange cultures of Japan is the "Kokuhaku (confession)," isn't it? When watching anime and movies, there are often scenes of confessions, where a person tells another person that they like them and wants to date them. Many viewers have asked me about how it actually works. As a Japanese person, I had always taken this custom for granted, so I wanted to take this opportunity to analyze it.

So today, I will explain the three reasons why Kokuhaku is important in Japanese culture. The reasons will get more and more important towards the end, so I hope you can check out all three. And as you all know, in my videos I try to explore it from a cultural and historical perspective,
so I am sure that there will be interesting discoveries in this video that other people rarely talk about. Keep in mind, however, that this is the opinion of a 28-year-old Generation Y person,
as cultures vary greatly from generation to generation.

The management (filming, editing, etc.) of the new Asayama Ichiden Ryu's English Channel "Let's ask Seki Sensei" is completely my voluntary work. If I am not able to pay for the expensive bullet train fare from Kyoto to Ibaraki Prefecture (where the main Dojo is located), and hotel/filming expenses, this activity will cease. Please help us spread and preserve this 400-year-old martial art. In return, I will try my best to create the most educational and exciting content about Japanese Kobudo.
