Japanese tend to accept all kinds of religions. We are originally Shintoist. Buddhism came to Japan in the 6th century. We mixed Shinto and Buddhism, and call it Syncretistic Religions. We still have a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine at the same precinct. We visit both and offer money to both at the same time.
In the 16th, Christianity came to Japan. After historical controversy, we don't have any state religion now although most of us are cremated according to the Buddhism way.
We are basically very flexible to religions. We celebrate Christmas and go to a temple or shrine on the New Year.
One of my friends introduced this unique video. Buddha celebrates Christmas in Japan!!
It's very funny even to us!! The Japanese characters on the video were all comments from the viewers. They were also surprised!!
Please enjoy watching until the last!!!!
