Meaning of Swastika Symbol In Japan vs. The West
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2023
- Have you ever been to Japan and seen the swastika symbol in many public places? It's actually called ""manji"" in Japanese and has been an important symbol in Japanese Buddhism for centuries. But did you know that the Nazi regime flipped the symbol and it became associated with hate and racism? This has caused confusion for many Western people who see the manji in Japan today. We asked Japanese locals if they are aware of this association with Nazi Germany.

They weren't even really true allies in the war anyways. They signed a treaty to not attack each other but they never once actively coordinated any operations. Essentially 2 completely separate sides that just agreed not to shoot each other on sight

Japan definitely doesn't like that part of their history
Japan doesn’t like most parts of their history, and tries to hide it
WWII was two separate wars over two different things being fought concurrently in geographically isolated theaters. Their alliance was a long-distance loose strategic one and they never fought along side each other on a battlefield to any large extent like the Brits and Americans or the Germans and Italians did. The deutschpropelleren is much more European/American history than Japanese.

Damn thats sad
Not to mention the vivisection of a pregnant Russian woman they purposely infected with syphilis, in-order to investigate the progression of the disease. That's one leaked video I vividly remember.
By certain parts of society, a lot of the younger generation do face up to it though
yeah so they dont get taught about it in schools or anything
I am Japanese, born and raised in Japan, and no doubt learned this in history class.
The people in this video are so frustrating to watch because they don't seem to remember anything they learned.

Instead of being used for a band it was a hate symbol for a awful people called n*zis 🙁
Not knowing crucial parts of history like this is dangerous. The post WW2 generations in Japan are clearly not a fault so it makes no sense to hide the truth from them during their “education”.
Knowing history is written by the Victor.. Gives less credence to current historical education
I grew in japan and we all learn every thing about the war.
But since japan's education focuses on getting high social status by graduating and going to good university,most students studies it only for exams and forget it.
Japan's education doesn't really hide anything.
We learn about everything we did back in the day.
Another thing is because Japan is hardly a same country after the war with new goverment,laws,modernization when we learn about our history its hard to take it as our legacy.
@@renarenacat since you grew up in Japan I need to ask, did you ever learn about unit 731 in any of your schooling?
@@renarenacatEveryone’s experience is difference tbh. I personally attend an American school, but I know a foreign exchange student from Japan, and when we were learning about WWll they seemed shocked about all of the horrific things that Japan and Germany did. She had never learned of the Korean occupation, Pearl Harbor, or what Japan did to Asia in general.
In all honesty, history isn't something anyone is really interested in here. They only know Oda Nobunaga because he has been popularised in video games. It's really shocking.

Crazy how vastly different cultures have the same issue when asked these types of questions. The older generations know the symbol, the history, the pain of other people, the younger ones are oblivious of history all together.
@TheIronpusher Probably because the older generation (e.g.teachers) is not teaching them about this. Or do so in an interesting enough way to make them remember.
Yup, the swastika is an ancient holy symbol that's on the oldest known statue ever found (12k years old). The Germans appropriated and reversed it.
I don't know if I should feel better or worse that other countries also struggle with their populations being poorly educated on history.

The old guy was spot on about lack of education.
Was about to laugh but that’s actually really disappointing
What's interesting is that he was the younger generation when it was taught that they were the bad guys. My grandparents on my dad's side lived outside of Tokyo and even after the war saw them as people who wanted to help save Japan during WW2. They saw Tokyo burn and their neighbors and other family members die in the fighting. It wasn't until my dad's generation that they were seen as the bad guys and word of their atrocities became somewhat accepted in Japan.
Maybe they don’t want the youth to completely turn on there own country like in the US surround the history of slavery.
Unnecessary guilt and blame can tear a country apart from within.

honestly i believe it's less of proper education and more of something like censorship, filtered education if you will, less obviously controlled by the government, there are so many things governments hide about their country's history from the people, and it can be pretty invisible or passive. Something might be a simple google search away for them even with that freedom in their hands yet the practice is obviously effective.
The youth aren't taught, they aren't aware/don't know, they don't discuss/gossip with their peers about it, they don't ask the elderly about it, the info would be lost in plain sight.
The country known for basically having kids live at school and have stressful and difficult placement exams for higher education doesn't educate it's youth on WW2... The math ain't mathing. Kids in that country practically leave school in the evening. TF do they do there all day?

Their magnum opus "Final Solution" topped the charts with over 7 million hits. They even had a copycat act in Italy that called themselves "The Duke", but they waned in popularity through the 1940s in light of British and American influence.

teaching Japanese kids about WW2 would be like Captain America coming out his capsule and learning that he didn't end the war

I feel like in America they would've told captian America. I live in the U.S.A we do tell our people of our past atrocities, when I was in school I learned about the internment of Japanese Civilians during the war and the generally poor treatment they underwent and the substandard living conditions they were put under.
But I doubt that many in Japan have seen the news article of an imperial soldier with an infant impaled on the end of a bayonet. And even fewer know the story behind it. Germany has to teach about the holocaust in detail, America has done the same for our past crimes, even up until and past the Bush years. I was learning about what war crimes were happening under the Obama administration when he was our president. Japan tries to ignore and hide from the problems within their society past/present. If you look into their legal system it's very telling.

Germany has been an occupied country ever since the end of the war. They have been utterly brainwashed into submission so that they will hopefully never seek their own sovereignty again. If they wanted to, they would be the most powerful nation in Europe. Japan has very similarly been cucked by the USA. We wrote their constitution for them.

You must understand, the swastika has a history before WWII. In a good chunk of Asia, from South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, it was a symbol of good luck and a Buddhist symbol. You can find a map with swastika in not just Japan but China and Vietnam as well, to locate Buddhist temples. And you might think that 45 degree swastika is associated with the Nazi, actually even that symbol was used to indicate Buddhism. The Nazis, who were literally illiterate, found this symbol from Hindu valleys and associated it with Aryanism, a word which even more ironically, was associated with Persians and North Indians.

@@yourstruly5013he’s saying who’s going to tell them that Japan Allied with Germany…
@@yourstruly5013 I'm sure what "little" WhisperDude knows far outstretches that of the younger Japanese folks shown in this video. You'd only need the most minute amount of knowledge to far outstretch theirs.
"I have a feeling they were the bad guys"
💀
It’s a bit too perfect
And totally forgot they were ally with the bad guys 😅
His ancestors say otherwise
@@orkellstefansson9601pls 😭😓
I know, how wrong he is 😂
When your friend tells the outta pocket joke in front of friend group B and you gotta distance yourself for a couple decades
Just wait till someone from germany hear the song named "Erika"
"Looks like a band symbol"
To be fair, they tried to go on a world tour
Yeah, first they bombed, then they REALLY BOMBED!
💀💀💀💀
Wow this one is the most underrated haha 😂😂😂
😅
They where outplayed by the Eagles
"It looks like a band symbol"
Well, it was a band. An ARM band.
Ok taht funny idk why
OH NAH
He said it looked like the band's SIAM SHADE logo.
It was an armed band as well
😂
"People are not being properly educated."
Bro was rejected in art school so he decides to start a band.
They invented anime to forget.
*Germany greets his old friend*
Japan:Who are you again?
As Japanese, this is something we learn in compulsory education in Japan. We also learn about the Nazis and that Japan was an ally of Germany. The people in the video probably did not take the lessons seriously.
I thought the same! I mean Japan is Japan because of this friendship there’s even words from each language in the other between these two countries
What are jews????
@@luluwachedjari3299I am german and there are no words even.
What is smoked and cured? @@jeffstone9927
Guy at the beginning and end was goated, he really said "yeah that don't get taught history like they should anymore"
In the west, we dont get taught what japan did to asia during wwII nearly as much as what germany did to europe. As a chinese american, I've experienced the eastern side and the western side. In china, theres countless tv series / film about what japan did to chinese in wwii but not nearly as much about what happened in the west for WWII.
@@AJ-jx5gm this is to be expected. westerners and their eurocentric worldview is comparable to easterners and their focus on what happened in their corner of the world.
however, there are large differences between what an American learns about world history and what a student in Germany learns about the same subject.
myself, I can tell you quite a bit about the Japanese and what they did before and during WW2 and I've never been to [East] Asia. my answers would have matched those of the elder gentleman in the clip.
I guess I was around 12 yo when I was told, the majority of ww2 took place on the pacific side with Japan fcking everyone and everything up. I was raised in Poland
Many Japanese are not aware of their ancestors war crimes.
Was never told it in school still know that both are not the same, but that's the problem most people don't like to learn stuff if they don't too.
Man: looks like a band logo
Me: its a logo for a certain band🗿🗿🗿
“I have a feeling the Nazis were the bad guys”- Japan citizen
Rest my case
The old man is right. We can’t ignore the terrible things our country has done, we have to address them, and make sure we always remember what happened so that we will never go down those dark paths again.
Japan can't catch that memo though, neither can Turkey
Too late, nazis are already back in business and there are even slightly worse people in the top of society's pyramid
America 🌚
Something Americans need to learn as well. Conservatives have launched an all-out war against public education for simply teaching American history truthfully, and not enough people value education in this country.
he sure is
That old man who says it's the lack of education to blame seemed so wise and patient and happy. Wish I had a father like him
He was smiling the whole time cause he knew
we need men who are loving enough to want their children to be happy and strong, and serious enough to tell them about the bad things we have done in the past so children don't make the same mistakes again.
too many people don't manage to be either.
The world needs more people with his attitude and way of approaching issues
he was just a solder, he did what comander sayied, that's why he smiled btw
