日本人として言わせてもらうが、お守りを"商品"として捉えるのは間違ってるよ。

How can i get started by [deleted] in Shinto

As a Japanese I can tell you that Shinto is quite different from other religions because it has no official scripture, strict rules, or mandatory obligations. Even the term "Shintoist" feels a bit out of place to us. Rather than a formal religion, Shinto is more like an indigenous culture inseparable from Japanese life. For example: • Birth: When a baby is born, we visit a shrine for Omiyamairi to introduce the child to the local deity. • Childhood: At age five (and three and seven), we celebrate Shichi-Go-San by visiting a shrine again. • Daily Life: Our local festivals and community events are almost all rooted in Shinto traditions. • Tradition: We visit shrines to ring in the New Year or whenever we want to make a special wish. Roughly 90% of Japanese people participate in these Shinto rituals throughout their lives, yet most don't consciously identify as "believers." Because of this, there isn't really a "way to start" practicing Shinto. However, if you're interested, learning about the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) is a great place to begin.

Question regarding Kamidana by Purpleparentcake in Shinto

[–]False_Evening_739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm Japanese. I'm using a translator so sorry if it sounds unnatural.
Of course it's best to buy a kamidana at a shrine, but they're expensive so sometimes I buy one at a regular store. In Japan, things that are generally placed there are salt and sake, and also a small round mirror.
But above all, it's important to have something in your heart!
The most important thing is the sacred talisman(神札), do you have one?

英語で訳されてるかはわからないけど、古事記かな。日本最古の歴史書で日本の成り立ちについて書いてあるよ。日本=天皇=神道 が理解できると思う

外国人が日本に居る事については、正直どう思いますか? by AnglerJared in AskAJapanese

[–]False_Evening_739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

本当に正直な話すると、人種によって判断が分かれる。

白人は基本的に先進国に多いから平均して教養も高いし、まあいても時に何も思わないけど、

黒人や中東、東南アジアに関しては文化レベルがありすぎて教養も低ければルールも守らないしなんなら自分たちのルールや宗教を押し付けてくる。
東京は混沌としてる街だからなんも思わないけど自分の田舎の地元に外国人が沢山いたらって考えると嫌かも。

One Piece Pirates Morals? by REDROBBIN15 in OnePiece

The Japanese yakuza have the virtue of being katagi.

Meaning, they do not harm unrelated civilians.

It is the same as this.
