What is Giri- Ninjo in Japanese culture?

 




Picture: Making sushi rice at home

"Giri-ninjo is viewed as obligation in return for a favour... Giri-ninjo operates in nearly all interpersonal relationships. Because parents lavish amae on children, children must repay their parents by taking care of them in their old age" 


Amae = the unconscious desire found in Japanese cultures to depend on others to do things for them
