Can we please stop using this framing? Lazy orientalism. Japanese also has a word for "rest" are they therefore a restful nation? Is the lack of a single word for "work oneself to death" in English the only thing holding back thousands of Americans from a premature grave?

My Japanese friend threatened to remove all aspects of himself from the world, becoming a nameless, unknown and unknowable entity wandering externally alone the the forgotten cracks in eternity. And I was like, don't you 誰!

There is actually a part of me that would love to make Japanese language materials and linguistic deep dive content full time but it's in constant conflict with the part of me that doesn't want to live on the street. Classic two wolves inside me conundrum.
