Mar 1, 2016 at 0:25 comment added Yoichi Oishi We say sometimes 彼は二つの顔を持っている for a person with double personality like a saint and beast. But I’ve never heard of the expressions like three, four, five, or more faces. It’s not at least an established turn of phrase. – Robusto-san. Nice to meet you. I enlisted in this site since the end of the last year. I found It very much interesting to see Japanese language from westerners' point of view.

Oct 7, 2014 at 11:34 comment added Robusto I read about this axiom years before there was ever even an Internet. I don't recall where, but it certainly wasn't on some Twitter feed or the like. It's perhaps related to the notions of 建前 vs. 本音, but not exactly.
Oct 7, 2014 at 11:24 comment added virmaior I've heard something like this from a Japanese acquaintance who did a PhD in the US in reference to problems with clinical psychology for contemporary Japanese. But it was not a proverb, so much as a conclusion of a 21st century research study.

Oct 7, 2014 at 9:59 comment added user4032 For some reason, Internet is full of "Japanese proverbs" that I never have heard in Japan.
Oct 7, 2014 at 8:22 comment added CookieEater I do not think there is a Japanese proverb corresponding to the paragraph you posted.
