When watching this video, please keep in mind that Japanese mythology and Asian philosophy are not an exact science. Our stories are just that: Stories.
People, books - and even Wikipedia - tell them in endless variations, and different scholars and artists have a wealth of opinions on matters concerning our cultures. If you heard or read this story differently from the way I am telling it to you... you are probably right too.
Please use my videos as an introduction and then dig deeper into any of the topics that I am talking about. I can promise you the discoveries you will make are more than worth the effort.

Amazing videos, there is any god of time or some kind of story about the pass of time and the importance of live the present? a kind of 'tempus fugit' in latin?

[@ZENUPYourLife-withSanaSakura]

Thank you for your interesting question! In Japanese culture, while there isn't a direct equivalent to the concept of "tempus fugit" or a god solely dedicated to time as in some Western mythologies, there are indeed stories and philosophical ideas that explore the passage of time and the importance of living in the present.

Hello. I need help from someone who speaks Japanese. - I'm an author of fictional books written in English, and I created a few characters that are Japanese Kami. I would like to know what you think of their names. Do you think the names are good or bad? Do they sound weird? - Moshojin, 猛暑 神 Heiwajin, 平和 神 Boryokujin, 暴力 神 Korijin, 氷 神 Obutsujin, 汚物 神 - I based these names on the classical Kami named, Fujin, 風神 Raijin, 雷神 Ryujin 龍神

[@ZENUPYourLife-withSanaSakura]

Thank you for your comment. They are not bad but yes, I have to say it sounds bit weird to me. But then it is your creation in your world. ;-)

[@keatonward6403]

Beautiful Japanese woman tells me Japanese folklore stories? How do I say yes please in Japanese?

[@ZENUPYourLife-withSanaSakura]

Haha, thank you for your nice comment!

[@Ekaterinats2005]

Fujin and raijin are devils of wind and thunder, they are enemies of Japanese gods

[@ZENUPYourLife-withSanaSakura]

They are known as important protective deities in Japanese Buddhism.
