A Japanese company, Ikemeso Danshi, has introduced a unique stress-relief service where clients can hire “Handsome Weeping Boys” to watch emotional movies with them and wipe their tears. This unconventional approach is based on the concept of “rui-katsu,” or “tear-seeking,” which encourages emotional release as a way to reduce stress.
The service aims to create a safe and comforting environment for individuals, particularly those dealing with workplace pressures, to express their emotions freely. By fostering an atmosphere where crying is not seen as a weakness but as a therapeutic release, Ikemeso Danshi hopes to improve mental well-being.
