So Apparently, Extreme Apologizing Is A Thing In Japan

Emily Mahboobeh

Everyone has made mistakes and apologized for them at some point in their lives. But in Japan, apologizing isn't enough if you've truly screwed up. Luckily for you, bowing is a common way to express regret in Japan. And generally speaking, the deeper the bow, the more sorry you are. Therefore, if you really feel sorry about something, you might even need to prostrate. Keep scrolling cause here are some of the most extreme Japanese prostrating you'll ever see.
So, prostrating yourself (土下座 or Dogeza) is a way to apologize when words alone won't cut it. It's a pose that empowers the person you are saying sorry to and leaves your vulnerable side, which is your neck, exposed. Because back when Japanese folks used to carry swords, the neck was where they put you at their mercy.
Without any further ado, let's buckle up and get ready to visit some of the most extreme apologizing techniques you'll ever see. We hope you will be impressed and laugh at these as much as we do, enjoy!
