Have you ever been to a sauna? In Japan hot springs and saunas remain popular even during the hot summer. In a recent message Yokoyama talked about a typically Japanese incident he had while spending quality time with his friends from Osaka!
“Hi, it’s Yokoyama You. I hope I’m not intruding. Right now I’m going to a sauna with a friend from my hometown who is visiting Tokyo. We’ve been friends for 20 years☆ I’m going to enjoy talking about old times!Real friendships only develop when you’re both naked☆”
What sort of things did Yokoyama-kun talk with his best friend in the sauna?In Japan there is a time-honored phrase used to describe close friends whom you are close enough to share a bath with. It is ‘hadaka no tsukiai (裸の付き合い; friendship in the nude)’.It is meant to express that good friends can bare it all without hiding anything, including one’s inner feelings.Do you have a friend you can ‘bare it all’?
