“Buddha’s birthday” is too often overlooked in Japan… Despite being the second largest religious population in the country, this low level of recognition… It’s embarrassing, but I think it’s a lack of our production capability!
Was it yesterday?
Is it Hanamatsuri?
I think I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t attended a Buddhist kindergarten.
Was it yesterday?
I let it pass by again this year.
If we can make it feel like something children or partners can participate in and have the potential to be a business…
>>5
I will pour sweet tea.
Isn’t it strange to celebrate being born into a polluted realm doctrinally?
>>6
Whether to celebrate or not aside, I think it’s fine to promote when it was born.
>>6
If that happens, does the day Buddha died instead become a celebration…?
>>37
In fact, Nirvana Day is held on February 15th.
>>40
It was there…
>>40
I didn’t know.
Is it because of the day after Valentine’s that the shadow is very faint?
>>48
Well, I mean, it’s a serious memorial service…
I think it’s not good that it’s a busy and chaotic time at the start of the new fiscal year.
Well, it’s far removed from primitive Buddhism…
I think the low level of recognition is seriously due to a lack of production skills.
I mean, the only god’s birthday I know is Christ’s birthday.
I was going to say that, but isn’t it Christmas birthday?
>>10
It is a day to celebrate the birth of Christ, not Christ’s birthday.
The exact date of Christ’s birth is unknown.
To go a bit deeper, the original fire-worship day celebrating the god Mithras of Zoroastrianism is December 25, which is, in terms of the seasons, the winter solstice.
Culture was exchanged along the Silk Road and was incorporated into Christianity.
Sweet tea, shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine), and mugwort rice cakes don’t seem appealing to kids…
If you could make it a day off…
Compared to the cheerful birthday festival of present cake chicken, what is this sweet tea pouring festival?
>>13
Johnny Depp is too commercialized, that’s why…
Usually, only in Japan do people eat chicken at Christmas.
>>137
It’s derived from turkey, but since we don’t eat turkey in Japan, if we think of it as chicken instead, it’s not that different after all.
>>146
In North America, eating turkey at Christmas is just a continuation of the Thanksgiving Day tradition.
That’s solely for commercial reasons.
>>153
That doesn’t serve as any kind of objection.
>>153
You’re eating, aren’t you?
>>153
“They say only in Japan do people eat chicken on Christmas.”
“It’s not that far off if you think of it as something that has evolved from a turkey, right?”
“Even if it is said that only America eats turkey, isn’t the point being overly swayed?”
>>153
Eating chicken in Japan is just a substitute for American turkey, and saying that only America eats turkey is just trying to negate the other person’s statement.
>>137
KFC is just here, but they probably eat turkey over there too, right!?
Well, it seems there’s also a lot of beef.
I don’t even know what to do for cosplay…
Sweet tea pouring festival!
Somehow… a festival where tea is poured on a Buddha statue…
Why not do something under the pretext of the entrance ceremony?
>>19
Should we turn it into an event where we splash tea on the principal…?
Yesterday was her birthday, but I just found out that it’s also Buddha’s birthday.
>>21
Isn’t your girlfriend Buddha?
I think the name “Flower Festival” is not very good.
It makes me wonder if they’re doing some local cherry blossom viewing around this time.
Shrines are associated with festivals and celebrations like Shichi-Go-San and coming-of-age ceremonies, but temples are really only visited for grave visits and funerals…
I know about Buddha’s holiday.
Through social games and whatnot.
Can it be done on a day when sweet tea is splashed, wet and see-through…?
The entrance ceremony is somewhat unpredictable in terms of scheduling…
Was it yesterday!? I didn’t know about that.
The author posted a commemorative illustration, so I did some RP.
Does Buddha even want to celebrate his birthday?
Happy birthday, Buddha! We don’t interact much, but let’s have a good year again!
There are countless ways to produce it, but you would need to be prepared for it to lose its original form.
https://halohalo-online.blog.jp/archives/1023490056.html
They did something like this on Tamori Club too.
I wonder if sweet tea is delicious.
>>35
The scent is ethnic and selective, but it’s sweet and delicious.
>>42
I’ll give it a try!
Thank you for the trash covered in something like poop…
>>43
I will forgive you in honor of Buddha’s birthday, but…
>>52
It’s already over.
>>54
I forgive you…
Make it a holiday with a clear name like “Super Bad Luck Day,” similar to Children’s Day.
After all, isn’t it inevitable to spray sweet tea on the spectators and distribute the birth Buddha while doing so?
Did it come from the side?
It seems that producing it will only happen on the days when I want to sell the trendy snacks.
In a Buddhist context, it is said that the Buddha was born to save all sentient beings.
The Hanamatsuri is celebrated more as a day that commemorates the Buddha’s manifestation in this world to save beings, rather than as a celebration of birth.
Buddha might have become more mainstream if he had been born on an event day like the Tango-no-Sekku and celebrated simultaneously, merging and integrating with it.
If we had created an appropriate festival during a more relaxed era, laying the groundwork for something like sweets to easily catch on…
There’s a lack of production.
Shall we have royal milk tea or something?
Since I can’t quite grasp the flower festival, I remember it as the unlimited sweet tea pouring festival.
Doctrinally, Christmas goes in the opposite direction of fulfilling material desires, lust, and hunger…
Punch is quite firmly set on days like this, you know, even though there are things like the old calendar and whatnot.
Shall we all be the only honored ones in heaven and earth?
Let’s learn with 48 (temporary).
Can we celebrate the day the Buddha attained enlightenment?
>>59
The Enlightenment Day ceremony is being held on December 8th.
>>61
Buddhism is doing various things casually.
It’s totally minor, but…
>>70
Because it’s a serious memorial service…
Even Christianity tries to make Easter popular, but it never really catches on, and when it comes to Pentecost, there are probably more people who don’t know about it.
>>76
During this season, there is a strong presence of rabbits and eggs in cake shops and candy stores.
So it’s definitely quicker to get everyone excited with food, so let’s bring out sweet tea gummies!
Well, even if we celebrate…
We don’t celebrate Christmas just because it’s Christ’s birthday…
>>60
I have spent every year of my life celebrating the New Year and Obon, but it seems that for the world, it’s a consecutive holiday.
>>78
Ultimately, it comes down to whether you belong to a community that is conscious of traditional events and religion…
Is the culture of celebrating birthdays itself a part of Western civilization?
The bukkake festival is a bit…
I have a memory of a stream where they poured sweet tea for every like or something, and it was like hell…
What is in first place if Buddhism is in second place?
Non-religious?
>>65
Shinto
>>69
I don’t really have the impression that Shinto is more widespread than Buddhism…
>>86
Shinto, to be frank, you are automatically included as a parishioner just by being born Japanese in Japan…
>>86
Don’t you worship your ancestors? You decorate with kadomatsu, right? Have you never done Setsubun?
>>99
Going to Hatsumode, receiving New Year’s money, eating rice cakes during the New Year, and even celebrating the New Year are all part of Shinto.
Also, having a moon-viewing in autumn is Shinto.
If it weren’t for Saint Nicholas, Christmas would probably just be a chicken festival, and if there were people who gave things to monks, it might have been different too.
My birthday with Pierre Taki and the Buddha.
There are no elements that are trending.
Happy Birthday
Dear
Gautama Siddhartha~
Halloween, which was not popular at all in Japan, has been skillfully adapted into a different form compared to its original, and it’s impressive how it was integrated.
>>72
Last year, we tried to promote Easter in the form of a bunny festival, but this year it hasn’t been great.
More bunny rubbing.
>>77
It seems a bit risky to do it in real life as it might violate the Entertainment Business Control Law.
At that time, there was hardly any sweet water that could be called sweet tea, except for the sweet water falling under the sweet dew.
I think it’s okay to pour cola or orange juice on it in modern times.
If there’s something delicious that feels like it…
This year I participated in the Amachabukkake Festival for the first time.
I really poured sweet tea all over… and I realized that sweet tea is really sweet… it was a great experience.
Speaking of which, I got a sweet tea bag at kindergarten.
If we turn it into an event where kids can enjoy something fun, maybe it will become established over time.
Shall we make it a day when we can eat lots of wagashi and senbei?
>>80
These days, if you want to make children happy, it’s with wagashi (Japanese sweets) and senbei (rice crackers)…
>>81
I know it’s not very modern, but it’s strange to just go with Western sweets or potato chips, and it’s also difficult to come up with someone like Saint Nicholas, so isn’t that about all we have…?
>>87
If you say that, it’s strange to have Japanese sweets and rice crackers when he is the Buddha born in India.
>>89
Is it really the curry festival after all…?
>>93
I ended up in Bangladesh…
>>87
Let’s create something stylish like sweet tea latte and make it popular.
>>87
I really want to recommend sweet tea and Japanese sweets, but since it doesn’t go over well, I sadly distribute Western sweets, waiting for the day when the children awaken to the deliciousness of sweet tea and Japanese sweets. Let’s create the tragic hero, Sweet Tea Man.
Isn’t it possible that we celebrate on completely different days due to the difference between the old calendar and the new calendar?
As expected, let’s first make it a regular event in social games to raise awareness…
Is Buddha Indian!?
Make sweet rice wine.
It seems like it already exists.
The number of Shinto believers is clearly inflated, you know…
Let’s just make it a curry pouring festival.
Easter probably won’t become popular, to be honest.
It’s not even a social game.
>>100
The timing is bad.
>>100
Last year, there were quite a few games featuring characters dressed as bunny girls.
You’re making fun of sweet tea…!
Even though we say India, with the current borders, it’s only along the southern border of Nepal with India.
>>104
Then let’s distribute Nepalese curry and momo.
>>104
Maybe we could have the Nepali people working at the curry shop come up with some kind of celebration day…
>>128
Naan all-you-can-eat!
The phrase that originates from the Buddha’s birthday is “became a Shaka.”
It was said in the Yomiuri Shimbun that when someone fails with ceramics and says “the fire was too strong,” it slurred into “shigatsuyouka,” which then evolved into “oshaka.”
Easter has become more established than the Amacha Bukkake Festival.
Are you telling me to drink sweet tea? Is your head okay, Buddha?
Hatsumode can also be done at temples, and the family graves are managed by temples, so the feeling unique to Shinto is somewhat weak.
Recent mobile games are featuring bunny girls for Easter, but I don’t know what the connection is.
>>112
Easter → Spring → Rabbit → Bunny Girl
I guess that’s how it is.
>>112
Easter → Vitality → Reproductive power
>>125
You’re such a pervert.
Soaking amacha grass in sake at around 40 degrees…
Events like Setsubun, Hinamatsuri, Children’s Day, and Shichi-Go-San can basically be considered Shinto.
Shinto is less of a faith for the Japanese and more of an annual event.
It’s also ingrained in the foundation of daily life and ways of thinking.
>>115
In other words, for those who actually practice their faith, most religions have an ambiguous boundary between belief and cultural customs.
>>121
In the Christian world, Christmas feels like a time to spend with family during the year-end and New Year.
>>126
That’s right, they hold Thanksgiving, which is not common in Japan…
>>115
Both.
The remnants of the syncretism of gods and buddhas won’t disappear in just a hundred years or so.
>>141
Syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism was already happening by the 7th century when Buddhism came to Japan.
There are social games that feature bunny girls, but they’re definitely not recognized as Easter.
The culture of Christmas presents is strong, isn’t it?
Children are definitely excited, and even when they grow up, they can remember that feeling.
>>118
If there are events in Buddhism where children can receive presents and feasts…
I do not know the day Buddha attained enlightenment or the day he died.
I forgot, but I happened to make delicious curry for the first time in a while yesterday, so I hope you can forgive me.
In the first place, isn’t it true that national holidays are fundamentally derived from Shinto?
In Western countries, Easter is known for Easter eggs, which are candy shaped like eggs, and there is a game where children search for egg-shaped containers that contain toys inside.
The character who brings the egg has somehow become a rabbit.
It is said that it is connected to their strong breeding ability and being prolific, but the origin is not clear.
In the end, it’s an event loved for the synergetic effect of sweets + presents + catchy characters, just like Christmas.
It is said that old Christians thought that rabbits laid eggs…?
>>132
I’m still thinking about it.
>>132
Rabbits are birds, you know.
Count them one by one.
Japan is ranked second.
I thought for sure it would be in first place.
The candy company that linked Valentine’s Day with chocolates and crushes was quite savvy, wasn’t it?
Funerals are mostly conducted in the Buddhist style, right?
If I go to the first shrine visit of the year, I might be ranked second at the level of Shinto.
In the first place, Japanese people typically do not say, “I will become a follower of this religion.”
While being a parishioner of Shinto, I also receive assistance for Buddhist funerals and various other things at the same time.
I wonder how they decide that Shinto is in 1st place and Buddhism is in 2nd place.
Usually, the person is likely to be unaware that they are believing in both.
>>140
According to CIA’s research, it seems that Shinto is at 70% and Buddhism at 69%.
>>144
That CIA is probably not the CIA.
>>148
It seems like information from the fact book compiled by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States for government officials (2015 edition).
Namu Hachiman Daibosatsu!! Is it okay to mix Shinto and Buddhism?
If we make April 8th Sweet Tea Bath Day like Yuzu Bath…
I want to avoid getting splattered and becoming a mess…
Speaking of which, I know there is Easter, but I don’t know the day Christ died.
Is three days ago okay?
>>149
Friday the 13th… they say, but in reality, it’s not actually Friday the 13th.
Christmas is the day when Kentucky beats McDonald’s.
I feel like I’ve never seen a live turkey despite being in my 40s.
>>159
I have never seen it raw, even after cooking.
Being too eager to talk about details and ignoring the surrounding context is a bad trait of otaku.
I thought my dad brought some murky tea, but it was actually the Buddha’s birthday.
>>162
Aren’t you being made to drink something strange?
Because it was in the countryside, the house two doors down used to have a turkey.
A memory of a unique and loud cry.
Really? Happy belated birthday, Buddha!
