The Japanese use their eyes much more in nonverbal communication than westerners do, they don't look to see if you're smiling with your mouth, they look at your eyes. It's actually uncouth to laugh with your mouth exposed, to them it's comparable to a horse whinnying.

By covering the eyes you cover the area of the face that (to the nips) conveys the most emotion.

where are you from out of interest?
Glare is not as intense in some parts of the world as in others because of the angle of the sun etc. I can't remember noting it specifically, but when I was in Japan I don't recall glare being a problem, whereas glare is a constant pain in the ass for me here in Australia where sunglasses are a non-negotiable necessity.

Japan has super long super nice twilights which send the whole place this most beautiful, impossible to describe blue. We don't get those in Aus either. We don't get twilight at all, really :(

The low winter sun here tends to be quite glary

"The eyes are window of the soul" is very big there, not agreeing or disagreeing with that anon either.
