Abstract: The colloquial Japanese expression “Tsuma ni damatte sokubaikai ni ikun ja nakatta” (I shouldn’t have gone to the flea market without telling my wife) operates as a seemingly trivial confession of domestic deception. However, this paper argues that the phrase serves as a sophisticated linguistic microcosm for examining post-bubble economic guilt, the performance of hegemonic masculinity in retreat, and the subversion of traditional uchi-soto (inside-outside) social dynamics. By deconstructing the grammatical construction of regret (~nakatta) and the semiotics of the sokubaikai (flea market) as a liminal space, this draft posits that the speaker is not lamenting an act of consumption, but rather mourning the loss of an autonomous selfhood that modern Japanese domesticity has rendered obsolete. tsuma ni damatte sokubaikai ni ikun ja nakatta better
