You know shogo scence you have so much experience in japanese culture i really would like to see your critique on ghost of tsushima a samurai themed game that is heavily focused on japanese samurai and brief history of the mongol invasion and i am curious to see your opinion
My husband in a Shinto Priest and I have learned so much about how Shinto relates to pregnancy as I already bern pregnant 3 times. I always have my husband pray for me during labor and delivery. And I love having a anzen kigan for safe deliverly and birth.
Shogo, i get what you said in the outro. The rituals have just become part of Japanese culture. Like, there are atheists and agnostic people who still celebrate Christmas with the family. It's just what you do- plus its a fun time and experience
@@Founderschannel123 And Easter, with the bunny and stuff, is not even Christian either haha. I also just found out scholars don't even think he was born in 1 AD
Probably the best part about Shinto is that there isn't a big set of rules regarding minutiae about how to dress, what to eat, who you can interact with, days you must worship, how you must speak, etc., etc., etc.
It’s cool cause I’m Japanese but I was raised in Brazil so I lost some part of my culture and I can watch your videos to understand more about the culture.
Shinto teaches all things are sacred and therefore respect everything. I am shinto. Looking after children preserves the future. This same belief is shared by many indigenous religions
I really like this way of thinking, for example the deeper meanings of even japanese everyday phrases like itadakimasu, where you do not simply say something like bon appetit, but you thank everyone involved in the process of making your food, from the gods to the farmer and the one who prepared the meal to even the animals and plants who were sacrificed for your meal. If you really live what you say, it feels like you are way closer to nature and more thoughtful in everyday life imo
Been raised Catholic/Christian all my life, find a lot of Asian religions such as Shintoism,Buddhism,Hinduism, and Taoism interesting, appreciate the lesson on Shinto history, thank you.
I'm truly fascinated by shintoism. There's just something something so pure and simple, and yet deeply humbling about it. So much of my spiritualist leanings are rooted in shintoist ideas, specifically the concept of nature worship/respect and the belief that a kind of energy resides in and eminates from all things.
I've always been fascinated with Shinto, from its origins in early Japan to its coexistence with Buddhism and Taoism where many shrines served two or three religions or even a religion comprised of all three (such as shugendo and zen Buddhism)to its modern form which has adapted concepts from both Taoism and buddhism
One of the most profound things I've heard about shinto was a priest who said that if you care about the environment and wish to respect all living things, then you are shinto. And I've felt that in the time I've lived in Japan.
Once again, you have created an amazing video! It helps us understand a lot! I loved the parallelism between Shinto shrines and women's wombs. Thank you!
I remember wearing a kimono and getting my picture taken when I was 3 and 7 when I visited my family, I had no idea those were part of a Shinto ceremonies.
From what I hear from my friend who wrote a project on religion, Japanese people are more.. culturally religious so to speak, and most Japanese people use different religions for different life events. Shinto shrines are for birth and early life. Christianity is used for weddings and they go to Buddhist temples for funirals. By being culturally religious, you do not celebrate religious events because you believe in them, but because they are part of your culture. Where I come from, we celebrate Christian events like Christmas and Easter, but the number of Christian believers has been decreasing for years. I mostly came to church to sing in the coir, but now I havenn't been there in... 5 years or so. I believe there was also a survey my friend found where Japanese people were asked what religion they belong to. The result came to over 100% because while some had said they were not religious, others had said that they belong to both Shintoism and Buddhism, or maybe added another religion to the mix. I do have a question. I once heard that it is inappropriate to not walk through the middle of the toori, because that's where the gods are supposed to walk. Is that true, or am I misunderstanding something?
I appreciate your frankness about the topics you introduce. I know now a lot more about Shintoism than I did before, including a few facts I'm not certain that I wanted to know. Does this mean that on New Year's when you visit a shrine and pull the bell rope, it, uh, has some subtext behind it?
I have so many questions about Shino, that basically I need to set down with a priest, unfortunately there are no Shinto priests in Texas. as always thank you for all you do, and keep following your dream
I’m actually looking forward to interviewing a Shinto priest in my Voices from Japan series soon! I’ll gather questions to ask through a post, so I hope you can forward to it✨
I think shinto is similar to all earlier religions like Paganism in europe or Vedic customs in India. Origins are not available but exist culturally with maybe a few scripts that are not religious.
@@thepatriot47 Extremism, unfortunately, is too common in every faith. :( Seems like when someone starts wandering toward extremism, they start losing the point of their faith.
Hi Shogo, I really enjoy your videos on Japanese life and culture. I wish you all the best for the future. May I wish you and your family a happy St Patrick's day. All the best from Co Cork Ireland 🇮🇪 🍀 🍀 🍀 🍀 🍀 🍀
Wow, I'm really interested in Shinto and I was thinking just a few days ago that maybe you could make a video about it someday. :) It was very informative as always. Thank you for the great content!
Thank you so much for explaining the meaning of the different parts of a Japanese shrine, how it can be seen as a symbolic woman's womb from which new life is born. Really interesting!
Why do you ask us to playback at 1.5 speed? Your speed of talking is very calming and easy to learn from and remember the details you’re stating. If I ever have is history or cultural teacher talking fast it’s like “how can I take notes 😭😭😭”
I appreciate you letting us know the option though : -) and if I misunderstood why you ask us to change the speed please let me know, sorry for jumping to conclusions after I asked!
I've been to many Shinto shrines...and actually never knew some of the things you spoke about...but there was this secluded shine near were I lived and it was said this shrine was devoted to the forest in where is was....it was so secluded, hidden in the trees and quite that I believed it...
I enjoyed visiting shrines during my short time in Japan. I visited the Meiji Shrine at Harajuku many times in fact. If I had known the anotomical symbolism, it would have made it more interesting. What I found most interesting is the blending of modernity and tradition at each shrine.
You blew my mind, Shogo! I'm your friend from Adelaide, your twin City. I took my home stay family to "hogs breath cafe" when they came to Australia. It was quite a culture shock, but that was the whole point 😝 !
Thank you Shogo for another amazing video. Maybe sometime you can make a video that will teach us about the 'honne and tatemae' concept and tips about it for foreigners wanting to visit Japan in the future.
There are so many similarities between Shinto and sanatan dharma Take for example Lord Daikokuten and Mahadev and the fact shrines represent a woman’s womb like wise in Hinduism the core part of our temples are known as ‘garbhagriha’ where in Garbha = womb and griha = home/shelter
I thought the first part of the video was dirty, until I remembered this: In my language, for the word "key", we use the masculine pronoun and for the word "lock", we use the feminine pronoun.
I think there is an aspect you briefly mentioned that needs to be highlighted more. The Hawaiian Culture has a similar aspect of "rituals" or celebrations at specific age points of a child's life. In the Japanese culture, it sounds like the rituals were their way of celebrating a child living for a week, for 3 years, etc. In Hawaiian culture, it was the birth and 1 year birthday. It's a really big deal. Living in another state I flew back to Hawaii just to celebrate my niece's birthday. Life span expectancy was not guaranteed to the Japanese with the many disasters of famine, earthquakes, typhoons, and wars. As you have mentioned and referenced in your videos. After the almost genocide of the Hawaiian natives, due to all the disease that was introduced to them they also celebrated certain milestones of a child's life. Having any child live to 1 year of age usually means they will continue to live a long life. In a non-empathic view, with limited supplies of food and resources, it could have also been part of a darker aspect. "Why recognize that baby when it will just be dead soon due to starvation, or diseases." After 1 year, that's really when your extended family comes out of the woodwork to gather and celebrate to be "introduced and develop emotional attachments to that child." Grief is much easier to bare of someone's death when you barely know them. In times when life was short for extended family or tribes, it was a survival tactic that allowed the people as a whole to function. Otherwise, everyone would be suffering from major depression and grief constantly during periods of turmoil. I can see the Japanese culture evolving in that same regard towards children and them being considered gods to help ease the grief of death. Also, I could also see it as a way of telling the people to "cherish and worship the time you have with your kids." They may not live very long due to the many famines, earthquakes, typhoons, and wars that happened in Japan.
just realised your family name is Yamaguchi, same family name as the Yamaguchi Gumi, I wanna know what your reaction was when u realised u had the same family name as the Yamaguchi gumi ( maybe its a common family name)

I'm pretty sure Shintoism must've been influenced by Hinduism in ancient times. Just like how Buddhism traveled to Japan. Hinduism is Panentheistic, has no founder, temple foundations are designed like human bodies, we offer money at temples for charity, we ring bells because the sound is supposed to have a healing effect, we also believe ancient kings were Suryavanshi( descents of the sun) or Chandravanshi( descents if the moon) But the sun is male in India. Benzaiten is Saraswati Kangiten is Ganesh Daijizaiten is Shiva I hope you can explain this from your perspective.
Hi Shogo. Very interesting your video. I would like to know if you can talk about the aikido's founder Ueshiba and his relationship with Shintô. Thank you for your work in this channel.
Shogo-san, this sounds silly but I have a Japanese girlfriend who I am always explaining your videos to. She doesn't understand English, so I am unable to show your videos to her. Is it possible to caption your videos in Japanese so that Japanese people can learn more about these things too?
Hello i watched your video again want to know about Shinto, interesting to watch and listen, ow ya the women on the thumbnail is beautiful😊 Izanagi, Izanami, Amaterasu reminds me of Naruto anime.😂
Hello Shogo, it's a very interesting content and I learn a lot! The third point have a lot of hommages with Original/Trading Card Games, video games, mangas/animes and what's your opinion about that?
Until kids reach the age of 7, this is so interesting to know about the Shinto side of things about kids, the prophet Muhammad PBUH told the people to teach the kids kindly until they are 7 about the values of life including prayers.
Hi Shogo! I guess we're friends now ^^ (Itachi is the best) One question came to my mind. Are/were Himiko, or rather the myth about the sun priestess from the Tomb Raider game (and movie) and the island of Yamatai a real thing? And how was this "story" received in Japan?
I didn't know that about Shinto... Awkward silence takes over...I 😐 could have gone my entire life without knowing about this? Well you learn something new everyday. It is interesting. 😅
Hopefully shogo responds to this I've been wondering if even tho I have a misdemeanor possession charge I've always wanted to study in Japan just ik how strict they are on people's records

I'm pretty sure Shintoism must've been influenced by Hinduism in ancient times. Just like how Buddhism traveled to Japan.
Hinduism is Panentheistic, has no founder, temple foundations are designed like human bodies, we offer money at temples for charity, we ring bells because the sound is supposed to have a healing effect, we also believe ancient kings were Suryavanshi( descents of the sun) or Chandravanshi( descents if the moon)
But the sun is male in India.
Benzaiten is Saraswati
Kangiten is Ganesh
Daijizaiten is Shiva
I hope you can explain this from your perspective.
U indian
great content
Hi Shogo. Very interesting your video. I would like to know if you can talk about the aikido's founder Ueshiba and his relationship with Shintô.
Thank you for your work in this channel.
Great video! So Shinto is like modern Animism..
"We are now friends"
YES!!!!
That's why Yaoyorozu Momo from MHA is the everything hero.
Shogo-san, this sounds silly but I have a Japanese girlfriend who I am always explaining your videos to. She doesn't understand English, so I am unable to show your videos to her. Is it possible to caption your videos in Japanese so that Japanese people can learn more about these things too?
Hello i watched your video again want to know about Shinto, interesting to watch and listen, ow ya the women on the thumbnail is beautiful😊
Izanagi, Izanami, Amaterasu reminds me of Naruto anime.😂
Hello Shogo, it's a very interesting content and I learn a lot! The third point have a lot of hommages with Original/Trading Card Games, video games, mangas/animes and what's your opinion about that?
WOW I never would have guessed!
What a great channel
Shogo… is it bad that the first thing I thought when you mentioned Amaterasu was “oh hey that’s my grandmother”
Very interesting 🤔
Until kids reach the age of 7, this is so interesting to know about the Shinto side of things about kids, the prophet Muhammad PBUH told the people to teach the kids kindly until they are 7 about the values of life including prayers.
I didn't know about the woman's legs and womb relation to shinto shrines, now I'll never be able to unsee this.
Hi Shogo! I guess we're friends now ^^ (Itachi is the best)
One question came to my mind. Are/were Himiko, or rather the myth about the sun priestess from the Tomb Raider game (and movie) and the island of Yamatai a real thing?
And how was this "story" received in Japan?
Glad to be your new friend!
Shinto rituals as a cultural practice but not necessarily as a religious practice, maybe you can put it that way.
I think of Itachi too whenever I read or hear Amaterasu I also think of the game Okami secondly
Interesting
I want to visit japan 😭
now knowing what shrines really represent, i am surprised and disturbed at the same time XD
I thought the Lady Snowblood manga was just being nasty. Nonesuch. 😑
I learned a lot
I didn't know that about Shinto... Awkward silence takes over...I 😐 could have gone my entire life without knowing about this? Well you learn something new everyday. It is interesting. 😅
I’m thinking on write a book series related to Shinto. Starting on Chicago, protagonized by an oni in shounen style
Millions of gods, One empty tomb.
Shanti Om
your goal is to achieve 1 million in 2023, you will get it even sonner, put 1,5m next time
Where in Michigan did you live,Shogo? I’m from Kalamazoo, in southwest Michigan.
Something like Imlay city
Hopefully shogo responds to this I've been wondering if even tho I have a misdemeanor possession charge I've always wanted to study in Japan just ik how strict they are on people's records
Woah-
quite awkward to think about, but superstitions exist in all shapes and sizes, i suppose.
