The concept of hell has existed in Japan for a long time, but it’s a much more nebulous one compared to the clear-cut fire-and-brimstone version of Western countries. For example, saying things like “this job is hell” to a Japanese person is perfectly normal, but saying “it’s hot as hell” might come across a little weird as there is no immediate preconceived notion of hell being hot as opposed to also being cold, sharp, dark, urine-soaked, bloody… you get the idea.
