Jirinden 43 “Losing by showing your weak point (Hi_wo_miseru_no_make)” means to show your weak point to the enemy, in order to lure them into a trap.
「Hi_wo_miseru_no_make to ieru wa, teki wo obikan tame ni hi wo moukete wana ni kaken to suru koto nari」(Heishū Jirinden, Vol. II, Deai-gashira)
・”Losing by showing your weak point” means to show your weak point in order to lure the enemy into a trap.
”Losing by showing your weak point” means to show your weak point in order to lure the enemy and trap them when they attack. The ancients disliked this behavior as it was futile and caused unpredictable situations. This is because when you create a weak point, it is a real weakness, not just a weakness you create to show your enemy.
The enemy is not stupid, so if he concentrates on a weak point and attacks you, that weakness will be defeated. If he decides that it is a trap and does not attack you, that weak point will remain as a weakness unless you repair it, which takes a lot of effort and is a big fault. A reasonable person would never create a weak point.
