In this video from Sora the Troll, we see some of the real life work rules that he dealt with as a worker in Japan. To us in the West, some of these might seem absolutely insane but Japan is a very different society where personal connection is valued above all else. Fitting in, conformity, and group approval are prized above all else because the personal connection. How one fits into the greater whole is vital to survive. Sora has become independent and works for himself now and it’s a good thing because he gives us a peek into that world.
