Overview
- 1概要：「風通しの良い」は、文字通り「風が通り抜けること」を意味し、空気の循環が良く、清々しい様子を指します。日常会話では、湿気がこもらない部屋や、爽やかな場所に対して使われます。2) 使用パターン：物理的な空間に対して使う場合、窓や構造が優れていることを示唆します。比喩的な表現としては、職場や家庭などのコミュニティに対して使われ、「風通しの良い職場」のように、上下関係に縛られず活発に意見交換ができる状態をポジティブに評価します。3) 一般的な文脈：不動産の物件紹介で「風通しの良い角部屋」のように使われるほか、ビジネスの場では「風通しの良い組織作り」といった目標として頻繁に登場します。4) 類語との比較：「換気が良い」は機能面に焦点を当てた無機質な表現ですが、「風通しの良い」はそこに「快適さ」や「開放感」というポジティブなニュアンスが含まれます。「開放的な」という言葉とも似ていますが、「風通しの良い」は特に「閉塞感がない」という対比として使われることが多いのが特徴です。

This refers to an open-minded personality or a wide, spacious area. It does not specifically imply the movement of air.
문법 패턴
How to Use It
사용 참고사항
The phrase is used both literally for architecture and metaphorically for human relations. In formal business settings, it is a highly positive term for describing management styles. It is rarely used in negative contexts unless specifically saying 'kazetoshi ga warui' (bad airflow/closed off).
자주 하는 실수
Learners sometimes use it to describe a 'windy' place (e.g., 'there is a strong wind'). It is important to remember it implies 'good circulation' rather than 'strong wind'. Do not use it for mechanical fan descriptions.
Tips
Use for both air and culture
Remember that this word works for both literal breezes and figurative office culture. It creates a vivid image of 'stagnant air' being replaced by 'fresh air' in any context.
Avoid using for mechanical ventilation
While it implies good ventilation, avoid using it for technical descriptions of HVAC systems. Use '換気設備が整っている' for mechanical systems instead.
High value on transparency
In Japanese corporate culture, 'kazetoshi' (airflow) is a core value. It represents the ideal balance between hierarchy and open communication.
어원
Derived from 'kaze' (wind) and 'tooshi' (passing through). It literally describes the path of the wind, which evolved to describe the flow of information.
문화적 맥락
In Japan, where houses historically had many wooden structures and shoji screens, 'kazetoshi' was essential for health and preventing mold. This physical necessity evolved into a social metaphor for trust and openness.
암기 팁
Imagine a stuffy office suddenly having all windows opened. The fresh air entering represents the 'kazetoshi' (wind passage) clearing out old, hidden problems.
