Haragei Haragei (腹芸 or はらげい ) is a form of rhetoric that is intended to express real intention and true meaning through implication. This form of implicature is known as Haragei in Japan where it appears as a concept in interpersonal communication and martial arts. Literally translated, the term means "stomach art", and it refers to an exchange of thoughts and feelings that is implied in conversation, rather than explicitly stated. In some societies, it can also denote charisma or strength of personality. In Western literature, the essence of the difference between just talking and really communicating through silence is analyzed in Harold Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter.
