Magokoro (真心, (まごころ)) is a principle known in Japan linked in particular to the origin, Yamato.
It will also be described in Japanese literature. Motoori Norinaga (1730-1801) devoted around 35 years of his life to developing a Commentary on the Kojiki-den, which is still authoritative today. Every man, writes Motoori, has at birth a "true heart" a "magokoro" (note that the term magokokoro is itself almost an onomatopoeia since kokoro, the heart, expresses these "heartbeats") whose literature ancient Japanese is the most faithful expression.
The poetry that describes the fluctuating feelings deep within the human heart is both feminine and fragile. Its most sublime element, characteristic element of this poetry, is mono no aware, that is to say the feeling of sympathy aroused by the sweet melancholy that emanates from things.
This sentiment expresses Yamato gokoro ("Japanese heart") as opposed to Kara gokoro ("Chinese heart") "superficial level of consciousness cluttered with masculine things, intellectually astute but full of pretension". Reflection of a happy time when the Way (tao, michi) merged with the spontaneous expression of human feelings, Japanese literature, or at least the Story (Kojiki den), testifies to the superiority of Yamato gokoro over Kara gokoro. In Japan, a country created by the gods, the way is neither natural nor artificially established by men, it belongs neither to the order of nature nor to that of men. It was established by the gods who begot both nature and men. It is not an organizing principle of Japan, but the very history of Japan.
The will of the gods was realized first through the begetting of the islands, then it was transmitted to the emperors by their divine ancestors whose lineage would never have been interrupted.
The uniqueness of Japan lies, for Motoori, in the acceptance of human feelings which underlie naturally good behavior and make any theory unnecessary.
