na-adjective, noun
high profile; aggressive stance; overbearing attitude
Describes a person or organization that takes a bold, assertive, or confrontational posture, often implying a lack of humility. Common in political, business, and interpersonal contexts.
彼はいつも高姿勢で、人の意見を聞こうとしない。
He always takes a high-handed attitude and never listens to others' opinions.
会社は交渉で高姿勢を崩さなかった。
The company maintained an aggressive stance in the negotiations.
Means confident or bullish, but without the same nuance of arrogance or overbearingness that 高姿勢 carries.
Compound of 高 (high) and 姿勢 (posture, attitude). The figurative meaning of an overbearing attitude derives naturally from the literal sense of a raised posture.
