Stiff shoulders affect people in all of Japan. Some women and men think stiff
shoulders is their number one or number two most serious physical condition. So,
many people in Japan are concerned about stiff shoulders. Some people think that
this condition could be unique for Japanese people because some other languages
do not have the words to express the condition.
Stiff shoulders happen when the muscle in the neck, shoulders, back, and the
trapezius muscle hurt or feel uncomfortable. This happens when the muscle is
tired from lifting heavy things or being in the same posture for a long time. There
are various items which help stiff shoulders. For example, a massage chair,
massage stick, shoulder-support strap, magnetic necklace, or magnetic patches.
Many foreigners are surprised to see so many Japanese
people wearing masks. “Cough etiquette” is a new idea which
encourages people who cough or sneeze to wear masks.
More people wear masks to avoid catching other people’s
illnesses. Also, more people wear masks during hay fever
season.
Some people wear masks for reasons that are not about
health. For example, to avoid talking to people, to avoid show-
ing their face, or not putting on makeup. Some masks have
fashionable colors and designs. So, they have also become an
accessory.
