意思
Acting in a kind manner.
文化背景
Kindness is often shown through silence and giving space. Over-the-top friendliness can be seen as suspicious or insincere. In contrast to Finland, American kindness often involves high energy, smiling, and verbal enthusiasm ('Have a great day!'). Kindness ('shinsetsu') is deeply tied to 'omotenashi' (hospitality) and anticipating others' needs before they ask. There is a saying that 'smiling without a reason is a sign of a fool.' Kindness is reserved for those you actually know.
