Japan Bapak vs. Indonesian Social Issues and Culture: A Study in Contrasts and Connections
In both Japan and Indonesia, the figure of the “father” ( chichi in Japanese; bapak in Indonesian) transcends biological kinship to inform social organization. This paper adopts the Indonesian term bapak as a comparative lens because Japan lacks an exact equivalent term for the same style of pervasive paternalism, but the substance exists in the oyabun-kobun (parent-role/boss-role) system and nemawashi consensus-building. The research question:
The danger arises when the Japanese model of suppressed mental health is marketed to Indonesian executives. There are now "Japanese-style leadership" seminars in Jakarta that teach men to hide their emotions. This is disastrous for a culture where catharsis— nangis bersama (crying together)—is a form of bonding. The Indonesian bapak who swallows his sadness Japanese-style does not become disciplined; he becomes a ticking time bomb, often detonating into amuk (a sudden, violent rage)—a phenomenon Indonesia knows all too well.
