Japanese etiquette tatemae & honne -
Japanese culture, honne & tatemae are concepts that describe the difference between one's true feelings & public behavior. Honne (本音) refers to one's true thoughts & feelings, while tatemae (建前) is the outward facade or social behavior presented to others. This distinction is important for understanding Japanese social interactions and maintaining harmony within group-oriented society.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Honne (本音) - True Feelings:
Honne represents a person's genuine thoughts, emotions, and intentions.
It is often kept private, especially in public settings or with those outside one's close circle.
In some cases, honne might be shared with very close friends or family.
Tatemae (建前) - Public Face:
Tatemae is the public persona or behavior that is presented to the outside world.
It is often used to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and uphold social norms.
Tatemae can involve being polite, indirect, or even making white lies to avoid causing offense or discomfort.
