Japanese Shrine Explained

[@TimB.1998]

I'm not even Shinto, but I'd die to visit every shrine in Japan! They're just so beautiful and peaceful...

[@nihonbunka]

@kmah88 Thank you for the suggestion. I am not sure that I will get around to it though. If you use Visualsubsync or somesuch software to make closed captions I'll correct and add them.

[@DevilBringer119]

I am absolutely fascinated by Shinto as a whole, thanks for the show around of a shrine ^^ Oh and Hoichi is in fact a 'he' ^^

[@LPXDproductions]

Rev. Kurt Rye, He is the Reverend at the Ekoji Buddhist Temple in Fairfax Va

[@Salazius]

Thank you for this video. I really was transported there :-)

[@nihonbunka]

Other than the omikoshi vs. "ark of the covenant" similarity, what is the evidence?

[@nihonbunka]

Sure. There is a shrine priest called Florian Wiltschko.

[@kmah88]

it would be helpful for you to add anotations of the spelling of the japanese words you use in the video... if you want~

[@nihonbunka]

Arimasa Kubo has a website called "Israelites Came to Ancient Japan"

[@nihonbunka]

Buddhism may be rather different; a world religion, whereas with few exceptions, Shinto (this shrine visiting religion) exists only in Japan or where there are Japanese (Brazil, Peru, Hawaii.)

[@nihonbunka]

I could well believe it because a lot of Japanese things originate in Korea or on the tairik, I mean continent.

[@nihonbunka]

Unless you want to keep this a secret too, please post the title here.

Does anyone know if person of Caucasian descent can become a Shinto Priestess?? Am thanking for a response beforehand!! 誰か、コーサカス系の人が神道尼僧になることができるかどうか知っていますか?? レスポンスを前もって感謝しています!!

[@nihonbunka]

Florian Wiltschko? He is the only one I know.

[@nihonbunka]

たまたま、そうみたいですね。

[@TimB.1998]

They are! Most certainly!

[@nihonbunka]

Joseph Eidelberg (2005) "The Biblical Hebrew Origin of the Japanese People," originally published, and popular, in Japanese.

[@nihonbunka]

Churches can be beautiful and peaceful too.

[@nihonbunka]

Perhaps Alex Jack (1999) "A Visit to the Land of the Gods: Searching for the Modern Philosopher's Stone, Tracing Jesus' Lost Years in the East, and Exploring the Common Roots of the Jews and the Japanese"

[@nihonbunka]

Perhaps James Oda (1997) "The Jewish and alien heritage of ancient Japan: Is the lost tribe of Israel the founder of Japan's imperial family"

sumimasen, my name is dede hermawan, i live in kumai kalimantan tengah indonesia, near tanjung puting national park, please help me with your pray in the shrine to help a soul in my body who need to get out from my body, just the gods of shinto can help this soul, please.

[@nihonbunka]

How can I help? I recommend you wash your hands and clap in front of the most impressive natural feature of your environment, wordlessly, in humility: Shinto gods can read your heart. Help people.

[@dedehermawanindonesia4317]

timtak1 i'm not live with heart, soul in my body can not thinking, the mind zero. i live with evil spirit who always hurt this soul, i need some one praying in the shrine to help this soul. this is not about my life, but this is about a soul in my body who i controled since he life.

[@nihonbunka]

Dede Great I think we all have others in or mind, acording to people like George Herbert Mead, Philippe Rochat, Sigmund Freud, Kitarou Nishida. The latter claims that there is something devilish about the othe in all people. In Freud too the other is taboo or scary. If this were not the case then we'd become conscious of the other and be unable to remain split. The split is alas normal though "sinful" （Christianity, Islam）"impure" (Shinto), "unelightened," Buddhism.

[@dedehermawanindonesia4317]

timtak1 thanks for explain it, but i just need you help me, with praying in the shrine for a soul in my body. you can save one human if you doing it. my name is dede hermawan, i live in kumai kalimantan tengah indonesia, close at tanjung puting national park, i need the gods of shinto come to me and save this soul. please

[@nihonbunka]

Dede Great The gods of Shinto are in your park. Find the most beautigul natural feature. Go there, wash your hands, and wrinse out your mouth with water, bow deeply twice, clap at chest level twice, and bow deeply again. That is about it, or all I know.

[@LPXDproductions]

Yes you can, the Reverend at my local Shrine is Caucasian

[@nihonbunka]

旅行は言っていませんよ。これは近状の神社ですよ。

[@nihonbunka]

So you believe in a conspiracy of silence on the Christian origins of Japan. What difference would it make?
