Does Japanese use litotes?


Are [litotes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litotes) and similar
understatement typically used in Japanese?

The Japanese Wikipedia [entry on
litotes](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B7%A9%E5%8F%99%E6%B3%95) is no _War
and Peace_ , which makes me suspect they don't use them very often.




Well, I don't think the use of litotes is language(or country?)-specific.

Some people are fond of rhetorics, while others prefer direct expressions.
That's all, I guess.
