Forgive me for stating this rather bluntly, with all due respect - the Japanese appear to have these concepts circulating openly in their everyday culture, displaying in fact that a degree of honesty about human nature in general is part of that culture. In our western culture these concepts are expressed in terms of mythological symbols and identities while explicit definitions are still hidden between the covers of books on psycology, I dare say.
