Japanese Body Language – 顔がいい

I wonder if there is another body part that is used more than the face in Japanese idioms.

The face can be good, saved, lost, smashed, wide, sold, lent, stuck out….all sorts of things.

And, each has a different meaning.

顔がいい [かおがいい, kao ga ii] be in good standing; have a good reputation

This is a person who hasn't messed things up just yet, gets along with everyone in the office and in his circle of influence.

If you want someone to speak up on your behalf, you want a person with a good face.

It has nothing to do with looks or physical appearance.
