[@judgem0rt1s23]

That bit about the unfinished wood carving really moved me. One of the reasons I love Japan so much is the dedication when it comes to honoring those who came before, and the respect of preserving one's legacy.

[@ericastier1646]

Same and it's easy to see why. But there is another side to that coin with Japan, as dedicated and honorific that they are to the core of their culture and the pillars people in it, they're also to the same extend unfair and cruel to those outside it who ever fell victim to it with no remorse whatsoever. Imperial Japan has committed horrific crimes where cruelty did not matter to innocent people who were not immigrant invading their culture or criminals but were on their path. Examples are Korean teenager women kidnapped in Korea from their families turn to forced sex slaves for the japanese army. Another is the handling of prisoners of war and pow camps. The massacre of civilians in Nanking with competitions published in domestic Japan newspaper about which Japanese beheaded the most number of civilians prisoners (not combatants). As good as some aspect of Japanese civilization is, there is always the equivalent as bad to balance it out.

[@judgem0rt1s23]

@@ericastier1646 If we're getting technical, though, no country is free from a history of atrocities. Still, I love Japan anyway.

[@ericastier1646]

@@judgem0rt1s23 I don't disagree. I think everything is in essence neutral but is made of positive and negative. Sometimes these can be very pronounced and only one side is expressed but the other and its equal potential is there unfortunately not applied to the same person/victim. There is no miracle good by itself, or miracle evil, everything is internally balanced but seeing the whole isn't possible.

[@AlTaJr61]

@@ericastier1646 every Nation that gained Wealth and Power thru Militarism are as guilty of Atrocities and Cruelty BUT the difference is Japan has vowed against that ever happening again after WW2. Ironically, their former enemies and now Allies want Japan to MILITARIZE Again!

Great footage ! Buddhist cuisine, authentic vegetarian food is really great. Aside from this temple of Nichiren sect, where people from Europe and America are experiencing Japanese Buddhism are as follows. For experiencing Japanese ‘Zen’, Eiheiji Temple, which is world’s most famous temple of Zen school, is recommended most. As for esoteric Vajrayana, Kongobuji Temple at Mt. Koyasan is the most prestigious (world heritage of course) in Japan and famous for being able to experience training

[@BLKninjas]

Zekou seems like the kind of guy I'd like to hang out with. That temple is so beautiful.

We in the West have so much we can learn from the Japanese people, it’s culture and it’s history! Thank you for that fascinating insight into their way of life, and their obvious love pride and respect they show towards their their Country!

[@HereForToday42]

so incredibly well filmed, thank you so much. I must have been Japanese in a previous life- I was totally mesmerized and emotionally moved by this video. Not only the elegant 550 year old temple, but also just in general the gorgeous aesthetic of Japanese culture- the artistic and subtle way food is presented, the architecture and interior of buildings, the gardens, beautiful carp fish, (the red ones especially beautiful) and the Japanese writing all is so beautiful. I could go on and on. I guess I need to visit.

I stayed there on 9/6/2023 and my friend and I had a great time. Zekou, Junko, and everyone else were so friendly. Junko even gave us a ride to the station when we were leaving town. Couple of things we did that aren't in this video are we borrowed electic bikes that are available at Kakurinbo and rode around town and we went to the top of Mt. Minobu. It was an incredible experience and great break from Tokyo before going to Kyoto. Highly recommend it.

I can only dream of one day having a mature and Beautiful Japanese garden. I did have home once and tried to make a Japanese garden, it’s quite hard and very expensive too. I’m glad I watched this, if I do ever visit Japan I will certainly go here to rest and be at peace for a few days. Everything about the Japanese culture from its food to house to gardens and temples are so perfect and Beautiful. I really love the idea of the natural spring water in a clay ceramic bath tub. The last house you stated at, I could just sit by the windows and watch outdoors all day, so relaxing and peaceful with the serenity of the gardens.

突然发现，佛教是一种通用的交流方式，实现不同地域、不同文化的人与人之间的交流与融合，试想在不同国家、不同时代、不同文化，有同样信仰的人，共同做着同一样的事务，而这些基于事务而成的功课和内容又是互通与文化差异之外的存在，像一座桥梁一样。能够体验这样的穿越的状态，真是很殊胜的跨文化跨时代跨地域体验，佛教也像是一条路，走在这条路上，沿路有不同的国度、地域、人文的风景和关怀。
