Hikikomori (引きこもり - Social Withdrawal)

Hikikomori

People who withdraw into their homes or rooms and rarely go outside are called 'hikikomori' (引きこもり) in Japanese.

The term 'hikikomori' is derived from 'hiki' (引き - meaning "withdrawal") and 'komori' (こもり - meaning "seclusion").

Japan has a large number of 'hikikomori', and according to a 2023 survey by the Cabinet Office, it is estimated that about 1.46 million people aged 15-64 (approximately 2% of the population) are in a state of a long-term 'hikikomori'.

I am often in a state of a short-term 'hikikomori' on my days off.

Lately, even in a video game (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom), I have been withdrawing into the underground and avoiding coming out. In a way, I am a 'hikikomori' in a double sense.

引きこもり

自宅や自室に閉じこもり、そこからほとんど出ない人のことを「引きこもり」と言います。

「引きこもり」は "withdrawal" を意味する「引き」と、"seclusion" を意味する「こもり」から成る言葉です。

日本は引きこもりが多い国であり、2023年の内閣府の調査によると、15～64歳の国民の約2％に当たる約146万人が、長期的な引きこもり状態にあると推計されています。

私は休みの日、よく引きこもり状態になります。

最近はゲーム（ゼルダの伝説 ティアーズ オブ ザ キングダム）の中でも地底から外に出ようとせず、二重の意味で引きこもっています。
