Summary/Abstract: The Japanese term haragei (literally, “the art of the stomach” or “the art of the belly”) refers to a special sensitivity that allows people with similar experiences and cultural backgrounds to exchange thoughts and feelings and to achieve mutual understanding by relying on empathy and/or emphasis instead of resorting to verbal communication. The article attempts to present the uniqueness of the haragei-based Japanese way of communicating and to describe how in the Japanese high-context culture haragei is used in everyday life, in the sphere of politics and especially in the business world, where it functions as a method of assessing people and situations and as a way of avoiding potential confrontations and the resulting problems.
