Giri (Japanese)

Giri (義理)^[1]^[2] is a Japanese value roughly corresponding to "duty", "obligation", or even "burden of obligation" in English. Namiko Abe^{[clarification needed]} defines it as "to serve one's superiors with a self-sacrificing devotion".^{[citation needed]} It is among the complex Japanese values that involve loyalty, gratitude, and moral debt.^[3] The conflict between giri and ninjō, or "human feeling", has historically been a primary topic of Japanese drama.
