Life can get tough, and not everyone has someone to lean on and talk to about their problems. In Japan, there is a unique solution to this problem called 'Rui-katsu'. As per this, if you don't have anyone close to you, you can actually hire a handsome man to watch videos with you until you cry, and then he'll wipe away your tears.
Given that 77% of Indians are dealing with stress, exploring the Japanese practice of 'rui-katsu' could be a worthwhile approach to consider in India too.
Seeking for tears to relieve stress
In Japan, there's a practice called rui-katsu, or "tear-seeking," which is really popular with women and is supposed to help reduce stress.

Under this, men can be hired starting at 7,900 yen (approximately Rs 4500).
Customers are allowed to check out the handsome man online before deciding to hire them.
Why was Rui-katsu invented?
Rui-katsu, which means "tear activity," comes from the idea of finding the best ways to maintain mental health.
The 'Rui-katsu' crying therapies began in 2013, offering Japanese people a way to let out their emotions.
Hiroki Terai, an entrepreneur from Tokyo, initiated the first 'Rui-katsu' sessions through a service he named "group crying."

His first project involved arranging ceremonies for couples who wished to commemorate their divorce.
But now, it's mostly about encouraging people to cry as a method of relieving stress and finding happiness in the end.
Idea behind Rui-katsu
The idea of Rui-katsu is to explore your inner thoughts and confront your doubts and fears, which can lead to feeling better overall.
Through this therapy, you can uncover things that might be holding you back or causing you pain, and then find ways to let go of them.

With every third person in India dealing with stress and 77% of Indians experiencing at least one symptom of stress regularly, as per a 2023 India Wellness Index by ICICI Lombard General Insurance, rui-katsu could actually be a practical way to manage stress.
