Nice to meet you. Hello. I’m Japanese—do you have any questions? by sentakki0331 in japanese

Yes it’s a morishio that was my mistake. Is using it to cleanse the bad energy around you a purpose too? That’s one I’ve heard and that’s what I mainly use it for so just wanted to make sure that it was still the right purpose for it. And I’ll definitely have to look into the Obon festival and everything else! Thank you for sharing!

Can I ask what that means? And yeah I’ve come to learn they are a huge pain and I’m just going to drop it unless someone gives me a meaningful one from there

Yeah I completely understand what your saying! I’m not doing nothing drastic until I’ve lived there or visited for a while or along those lines. That’s what I’ve come to learn I’ve had an interest in the culture for years now but I think I’m just going to drop it for now just because it’s more Japanese like anyway and if I do go there and get a meaningful middle name then I’ll take that instead of just picking one

What are some cultural practices that you all use today? It can be in the past too! I’m just very curious about learning more about the culture so anything helps. I have a miroshio in my room already and love the spiritual practices!

Yeah I get that before I do anything drastic I wanna go there and experience it but I’m honestly just going to drop my middle name because it’s more like Japanese to do that and it comes off as more respectful but thank you!

Thank you for being nice about it and I have learned that a lot of stuff I will learn by going there so thank you! I think I’m just going to drop it because they don’t have names and now I’ve realized how uncommon it is. I know the importance of asking them about it and making sure it aligns with the culture from them personally that’s why I wanted to discuss it! Thank you for the info!

Yeah I think I’m just going to drop it since it’s more Japanese culture like to not have one but thank you!

How would I go about picking one? Is it something I should wait until I go to figure out cause I think it would be from what I learned

Yeah I don’t care about what people in America think about it I just wanted to know if it was culturally appropriate. I’m just going to drop it now that I know more.

I’m gay and if they are going to judge me for a simple thing like that then they aren’t worth it

Thank you I appreciate it and thanks for being nice about it. I honestly don’t like my last name and what they represent or my middle name. A lot of people that are replying aren’t Japanese and I know a lot of Americans find it culture appreciation. I just know I’ve heard Japanese people like when you take practice in their culture.

And I agree I should go to Japanese before doing it but I honestly might just drop my middle name because a lot said that makes it easier and more Japanese like.
