S＆M😨

[@squeakychairchannel]

🤔?

[@DONPAN-YO]

@@squeakychairchannel S&M = Sadist & Masochist. Woahhh~! Phewww~! 😂 Perhaps you knew the answer but avoided it gently out of consideration? 🤨🤭 Actually, I personally think that Mr. Shimura's true nature is "M🥺" and Mr. Sawabe's true nature is "S😈". People who have been watching comedy for a long time know their personalities, so viewers find them even more entertaining when they play the opposite role from their real life. And there is a difference of about 40 years in the careers of Mr. Shimura vs Mr. Sawabe. They have a difference in their careers that goes beyond that of a father-son relationship, and Mr. Sawabe cannot go against his master, so he is at the mercy of Mr. Shimura. But they understand each other and, as professional comedians, they enjoy even the pain of the act. Some comedians feel that "pain", "failure", and "accidents" are "おいしい / Oishii / delicious" and they have a strong belief in turning even negative things into laughter. 😋🤭👍🏻

[@squeakychairchannel]

I wasn't sure about the meaning of the S&M symbols so I asked the question 😅

[@DONPAN-YO]

Japanese people have a diverse view of religion, including non-belief. Belief in the "八百万の神 / Yaoyorozu no Kami" sounds cool, but to put it bluntly, Japanese people are unprincipled and tend to find gods in everything and make it the object of their faith. If you translate "八百万の神 / Yaoyorozu no Kami" directly into English, it means "The eight million gods," but there were not actually eight million gods, and the kanji "八 / Hachi" means "an extremely large number that cannot be counted". Just as the Arabic numeral "8" means "endless," people understand that the shape of the kanji "八 / Hachi" spreading downwards indicates a state of ever-increasing numbers. The basic idea of ​​the Japanese "Yaoyorozu no Kami" is that not only humans can become "gods," but that gods reside in all things in this world. The other day, I learned about a god for the first time in my life. A Japanese shrine enshrines the "god of pillows." Pillows! 😱 Not "Oh my God!", but "Oh my pillow?!" 🛏👼😶‍🌫🤣🤭 It seems that if you visit this shrine, you will get a "good night's sleep". Peaceful and interesting, isn't it? 🥱😴🥰 According to a 2018 survey of people in Japan asking whether they have any religious beliefs, 62% of people have no religious beliefs. So, can the 38% who answered that they have a religious belief be clearly divided into individual religions? I think the fact that it is not possible to divide them by religion is the most distinctive feature of Japan. When we ask Japanese people who have a religious belief which faith they support, we get the following statistics : Shinto: 70.4%, Buddhism: 69.8%, Christianity: 1.5%, Other religions: 6.9% (Why Japanese people⁉ If you add them up, the results exceed 100%. For real!) As you can see from these results, Japanese people often do not believe in just one faith. It is not uncommon for people to be Buddhist parishioners but believe in the existence of God. And there are many sects in both Shinto and Buddhism, and even among Japanese people, I don't think there are many people who know how many sects there are in total. 😒🤔 Many religious prayers and chanting Buddhist prayers involve the beating of gongs, bells, bells, and drums, and even devout believers, even ordinary people, play these religious instruments on a daily basis. When I was hospitalized, the medical questionnaire asked me what my religion was. At the time, I wondered what the connection was between religion and hospitalization, so I asked a nurse who I had become close to why. She told me, "Some patients pray loudly or chant Buddhist prayers on their hospital beds, and sometimes patients get into trouble. That's why we ask patients about their religion before we interview them." No patients caused any trouble during my hospitalization. However, on a completely different occasion, I actually saw an aunt of an acquaintance chanting a sutra while beating a drum similar to the fan drum that Shimura-san had. The lady was beating the drums and chanting Buddhist prayers for several hours straight, which I found a little strange. 😅😬🤯 Shimura-san makes a comedy out of these religious customs that still remain in Japanese society, but they can happen in real life. 😮🤭🤔 Water appears in this comedy video, and it also appeared in the previous cake battle between yakuza (the Japanese mafia), right? 🎂💥😎 🌊💦🌊💦🌊💦🥶😇🫂💞 It seems that water has a special role in faith. The origin of the mitarashi dango that you made was when the emperor at that time purified himself with water on his way to meet the gods, and bubbles floated on the surface of the water, which led to the creation of the mitarashi dango.💦🫧...🍡✨ In order for humans to get closer to the gods, they must be pure, and the concept (belief) was born of bathing in water that falls from the sky to purify dirty humans. Even ignoring religious significance, people all over the world may have felt the recognition that water is the source of life since ancient times. The emperor, for whom Mitarashi dango originated, only needed to purify his mouth and hands, but those who serve gods and Buddhas in body and soul, such as chief priests and monks, may perform harsh rituals called "禊 / Misogi" and "禊祓い / Misogi-Harai." "禊 / Misogi" also means "repentance", but its religious concept is not limited to "repentance/penitence". "禊 / Misogi" involves those who have sinned or been impure, or those who wish to participate in religious rites, washing and purifying their bodies with river or sea water, and with the idea that the more severe the ritual, the more purified the body will be, so harsh customs are added, such as bathing in water from a waterfall falling from a high place, bathing in freezing cold water in the middle of winter, or swimming in freezing rivers or seas, making the rituals even more extreme. Although the words "sin" and "impurity" are used, some people think that regretting having committed a sin is a stain and purify themselves, but some people tend to think that a heart that does not trust God 100% is "impurity." Therefore, I think that the purpose of Misogi is to purify one's soul and to wish to get closer to God's way of thinking through the spiritual effects of asceticism. And this culture of "misogi" has come to be applied not only to humans themselves, but also to problems that arise in human life. This is the idea of ​​"washing away / 水に流す". 🌊💦🌊✨ In reality, you don't actually wash or purify yourself with water, but the Japanese have used this phrase figuratively since ancient times to mean that by washing away your intangible feelings and heart with water, you can regain a clear, clean, safe and secure situation. (The reason Shimura-san and his friends really let their fight go away with water is to make fun of Japanese customs and turn it into something funny.🤭) Even in Christianity, when you are baptized, you use water or wash your head with holy water, right? 🙄😇🌊✨ I know that you are not religious now, but were you baptized as a child? Every time I explain Japanese culture to you, I feel it strongly myself, but I feel that there are surprisingly many things in Japanese culture, including words, that are based on ancient religious views. Moreover, there are many things that we use today that are related to religion without knowing their origins or ancient customs. Mr. Alex, are there any religious habits that you are familiar with in your life? If it is a habit that makes everyone happy unconsciously, even if the origin is related to religion, that is a good thing, right? 🤗🤭

Hello Mr Donpan 🤗 I've never heard of the pillow god before🤭 Amazing 👍 You told me a lot of new things. Thank you ❤️ Yes, I was baptized as a child, but no one asked if I wanted it. I'm not very religious. If you ask what I believe in, I will answer that most likely I can believe in the “old” gods of my homeland than in the single god of Christians.🤔 All people are different. I think that everyone can believe in what they like. 🙂

[@DONPAN-YO]

@@squeakychairchannel Yes, Japanese people put their heads on the pillow where the god is, drooling and snoring every day! Why Japanese people‼ 🤣😂🤭 I'm sure the "pillow god" has earplugs in and is wearing a raincoat or bib! My father always sleeps with his pillow in a "strong headlock" and hugging it. I think my father's pillow god has probably already passed away. 😶‍🌫👼😅 ("Why Japanese people‼" is a popular phrase (gag) in Japanese comedy.✨) I'm sorry for talking about your country's religion without knowing much about it. I assumed that the religion in your country was mostly Orthodox Church-based. ...But to make matters worse, I don't know much about the various denominations of Christianity. Although each denomination of Christianity is "monotheistic," there are also churches that worship the Virgin Mary, saints, or prophets as the highest peak, which is a little strange to me. I also know a little about beliefs based on Greek mythology in Europe and beliefs in indigenous gods in various parts of Europe. In the drama "The Last Kingdom," the conversation between the people of Wessex, who are trying to unify the Kingdom of England, and the invading Danes often talks about faith. They are always arguing over the word "God" or "gods," and I found the nonsense of their arguments amusing to watch. 😂　From the perspective of the people of Wessex, Japanese people would have looked like "Danes" too! 🤣😁👍🏻 There are people I have met throughout my life whom I truly respect, and I feel that they are more like gods than God. I feel that their words and actions are comparable to God's, and I would be truly happy if I could come even 1mm closer to their actions (and beliefs). 🤗💕

[@squeakychairchannel]

Yes, you are right that the main religion of my home country is Orthodoxy. When I talked about the "Old Gods" I meant the beliefs in my motherland even before the advent of Christianity. This is somewhat similar to the beliefs of the Vikings. 😉
