When was the last time you cried? Are you telling me do not remember? You haven't cried in a while? Questions that the Japanese teacher Nakajima asks people during his travels in his country, and this is what he calls "crying therapy" or "school of tears."

Teacher Nakajima, 43, says in a report published by the American New York Times (Nytimes): "Since I started the teaching profession, I have not been able to cry, but the treatment by crying is not my body, and I have become more emotional now, and I have not had a cold since that time; crying has strengthened my immune system."

When he was talking to people, he was hiding a little, but getting used to crying helped him express his opinion more, and be himself, as he says in front of the camera lens, while filming a documentary about him, according to the New York Times.

Crying is good for the body

Master Nakajima meets people while walking around their places and tells them that he will provide them with crying treatment, explaining that crying therapy makes you cry intentionally, 2 to 3 times a month, to remove toxins from your heart; So the audience asks: Have you cried recently? Try to remember. Who cried yesterday? Who cried last week? How about last month. no one? last year?

Holding back tears is a virtue in Japanese culture, as Japanese society does not accept tears. You should not cry in public, and men should not cry at all.

Teacher Nakajima recalls, but we now understand that crying is good for the body, and people who did not cry want to try, and they ask me to teach them to improve their health. I use a variety of videos, on families, animals and sports, where an athlete can cry the moment he wins a gold medal.

As for Teacher Nakajima, he loves videos about grandmothers and grandparents, just seeing him as a grandmother or a grandfather makes him in great shape. It is his weakness. Watching makes him live the experience as if it were real. "My grandfather died 3 years ago," he says. Whenever I was facing difficult times, he would always look for me and support me.

Crying box

You could be tired, or experiencing life stress, just write it down, then place your complaint in the crying square cafe. I want to make this cafe a crying cafe, and it will be open all day and night, says Master Nakajima.

And the plus is that after I've been a teacher to tears for 5 years, I realize there are a lot of people who want to cry. They come to me asking for a place to cry. Thinking of making a special tears cocktail for the cafe, above all, I want to make 40-year-olds cry.

I myself feel like men my age are really suffering. At work, they are under pressure from older and younger colleagues, and the pressure builds on them; My friend actually died from too much work. He kept telling about the amount of pressure he faced because of his work, according to Nakajima.

However, I was not at that time I started crying treatment, but I still think if I had given him the time and space to cry, he would be alive now. Dad saw me at work, I needed a helping hand and asked him to attend a workshop, I was embarrassed, but he said he was proud of my work, I looked at him after the workshop, but he turned around; he was crying. I think he was ashamed to cry in front of me.

Crying and emotional maturity

Those are fake glasses. Do I look different? Do I look cranky? What is different? I do not know. But when I wear this my state of mind changes. I need a different mindset to go out and teach. I dress as my community figure, my public persona, says Teacher Nakajima

I do not have children, but when I have children I will teach them how important crying is. Crying makes you emotionally mature, according to Nakajima.

In Japan, we say, “A crying child grows into good health.” I believe that when you cry you will get to know yourself, and it is important for people to live fulfilling lives. Teacher Nakajima assures that when he has children he will teach them to cry regularly and maybe "we will watch movies together, that would be nice."
