ELI5: Why do emotions feel like they're coming from the heart/chest area, instead of the brain?

Strong emotions generally are accompanied by an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, which are felt most strongly in the chest.

But that's just the European way of viewing emotions.  In Japan, for example, the emotional center of the human body is the stomach. This was why Samurai in feudal Japan who committed harakiri (ritual suicide through disemboweling) would cut open their bellies, to show they don't have a "black belly" (in European/Western terms, an evil heart).
