Doumei Yakazu

Doumei Yakazu is a Japanese term which means "cost sharing" or "mutual aid." This concept is like when you and your friends decide to share a toy or a snack. In this case, in Japan, people come together to share the cost of something like medical expenses or education expenses. It's like everyone puts some money into a big pot and then when someone needs help, they can take some of that money to pay for what they need.

So let's say your friend gets sick and needs to go to the doctor but doesn't have enough money to pay for it. With Doumei Yakazu, they can ask for help from the group and get some money from the shared pot to pay for their medical bills. Later on, if someone else needs help with school fees, that person can ask for help, and so on.

Doumei Yakazu is like having a big family or community where everyone takes care of each other. It's a way to make sure that everyone has what they need, even if they can't afford it on their own. And it also helps people feel more connected to each other because they all have a shared responsibility to take care of each other.
