सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The use of 'Nuka' (rice bran) reflects Japan's deep history as a rice-cultivating society. Many idioms use parts of the rice plant to describe human behavior. In Japanese business culture, expressing {糠喜|ぬかよろこ}び is a way to show that you are not overconfident. It is a form of 'lowering' oneself to maintain harmony. The concept of 'Sora-yorokobi' is often used in classical literature, but 'Nuka-yorokobi' has become the dominant modern term, likely due to the visceral imagery of the powder.
