Why the Japanese Chose Fewer Words(Kotodama × Zen)

In Japan, words are deeply treasured. And at the same time, they are often deliberately left unspoken. At first glance, this may seem contradictory. Why value words so highly, yet choose to use so few of them? Both traditions — Kotodama and Zen — are rooted in the same understanding. Kotodama teaches that words shape reality. Because words carry power, they must be used with care and restraint. Zen teaches that truth exists beyond language. Because not everything can be reached by words, silence can become the deepest expression. In this video, I explore why the Japanese have historically avoided strong, definitive language, and how Kotodama and Zen together reveal a unique spiritual relationship with both words and silence. This is a quiet reflection on language, restraint, and the wisdom of choosing when not to speak. — This video is part of my ongoing work on “Spiritual Marketing” — a way of aligning inner truth with modern systems and algorithms.
