That's a temple

follow your own native religion you weeb homo (not that jewish desert sand lore)

Our native religion would probably be some scandinavian like religion with totems.

I prefer aesthetics and philosophy of shinto

I like how Japan used to be so unique.
Not many people there could be educated but they were really unique culture compared to others.
Modern japanese don't have the same kind of spirit they used to have.
I blame anime and whatever stuff they came up with to make their men into sassies they are today.
At least they remain their attitude of respect towards other people. I like it

>Our native religion would probably be some scandinavian like religion with totems.
now that's some cool stuff, why not honor your ancestors

>mfw i found a true "japanophile"

this
every ethnicity should follow what they evolved with

because that's equally retarded.

The only legitimate religions besides Abrahamic are Buddhism and Confucianism. Rest are literal brainlet material.

I don't think so.
I think there are some Old believers who flee to the West and now live in US and South America

How can muslims/christians/jews even compete?

I think the building in that picture is a temple.
It is not a shrine. :3

← A shrine is this kind of thing

...

Why do they all look unique even though belong to the same religion?

...

How come you beated off weebstuff? I love you

>tfw japs can't even appreciate their county's/culture's beauty because they have to wageslave their lives away for Shekeltashi

>How come
*How

>glorious Shinto
Mad nationalism as is. Go to some putinist brigade and you'll get what you want.

That is because, the gods and enshrined sects are different. :3
In Japan, many Gods, sects and religions are coexisting.

What do you mean?

t. turkish invader

its just indigenous animism from Japan, Russia has its own Pagan faiths doesn't it?
and Orthodoxy has a load of mystery and grandeur to it

I meant how you could get interested in those "hard culture" first, not "soft culture" like anime shit?

>anime shit
Anime is the best part of your pathetic culture, you nip.

I thought shinto was literally ancestor worship

Actually I was introduced to japanese culture through anime when I was a kid.
I watched some anime but as the years passed I noticed how quality of it dropped significally and so I wanted to look for something that was similar but different, not so degenerate if you could say so.
I've stumbled upon the book called Hagakure. Loved it. Also read some other book on bushido and zen buddhism.
I find the way japanese identity was able to form to be fascinating.
No other culture was able to develop like this.
Despite recent decrease of moral in some aspects of It I still like it.
I hope more traditional values will get revival soon too.

Don't need to cope with them, just kill yourself already.

Ever wondered how a life in Japan might be? 19 foreigners share their personal experiences, likes and dislikes. See the country through the eyes of, mostly western, foreign residents, who have lived in Japan between a few months and several decades.

>Larping as a pagan

Literally we wussing at its finest
If you follow any of those "new pagan" movements, you are 10x worse than a weeb

its a variant of it, ancestor worship is Confucian but doesn't necessarily involve spirits and animism or anything like that.
like here almost everyone is an "atheist" yet they also honour the ancestors, great and small spirits, ghosts, and the Buddhas so its a bit silly but it retains the culture.

Thanks I will watch this on the weekend

>Hagakure. Loved it. Also read some other book on bushido and zen buddhism.
>Zen
>Bushido
>Hagakure
I hope every weeb will someday become a japanophile like you. You are what "weeb" used to be 50 years ago. I feel like fucking crying because i didn't know there would be a guy like you

I started to learn japanese but only went through J5 last year.
I am going to go for J4 and J3 this year, once I settle things with my uni.
Too bad it is quite easily gets forgotten without everyday practice.

Thank you english teacher sama
I love the easthetic, take the suburbs just south of shibuya for example, i love it. Narrow spaces, yet clean. Everyone cares for his house uniquely. Unparalleled comfiness and the mystery of what's behind the corner.
I wouldn't want to live in Japan though.

Delet this

no

Delet dis

Abrahamic religions are complete bullshit though.

>the mystery of what's behind the corner.

That is written "Prescription acceptance" "Dandelion Pharmacy" in Japanese.
This is a Japanese pharmacy. :3
