      I am a Canadian who is half Japanese. I was born in Japan. My mother was Japanese and my father was English. My mother was a Christian. Unfortunately she never allowed herself to be completely given over to Christ. She despised her father. She was prejudiced towards Koreans and never felt any guilt about what Japan did in the Second World War. She is Heaven now but she could have done more while alive here.

      @@DuzzinsSama depends on your definition of success. Reaching out to the Japanese is definitely a team effort and I am happy for many other co laborers. I’ve been blessed to see God at work, as I hear and see the testimonies of some who have come to Christ, YES. In my experience, it takes multiple years between when a Japanese first encounters Christianity, to when they come to Christ for themselves. While I haven’t personally had the opportunity to personally pray with a Japanese person to lead them to Christ or baptize one, I have done what I can to sow seed. As Paul says, “ I plant, Apollos waters, but God brings the increase”.

    Something that I notice is that the beauty in those who have suffered isn't in the suffering itself, but rather in the healing from it. A person who sins is not beautiful because of their sin, but one who has been healed from their sin--that is beautiful. No one finds a wound beautiful, but a scar can be.

    I stay in China, and I do the work of God here. However, the Chinese converts I’ve met (2 in 3 Christians) met Christ when they went abroad. Why am I sharing this? You might feel you need to be in Japan to save the Japanese, but if you look around you, in your schools, there are a lot of these oriental souls. Preach to them, share the gospel with them. They are often the vessels that will return to their own people and share this gospel with them. That is what noticed about the Chinese souls who preach and serve God here, most had time abroad got saved there, returned and are doing a lot for God here.

So we're descendants of those who considered waterfalls beautiful because those people survived/thrived/reproduced better than those who had no instinct of beauty (or whose idea of beauty was something non-beneficial to us).
      Note that we shouldn't confuse beauty with our fascinations of more dangerous things. We may find it fascinating to observe how people fail or how bears act because to observe these things results in knowing how they work, which improves our fitness.

They originated in the brothels of the Edo period, functioning as entertainers for the patrons before they saw the prostitutes and courtesans. While Kisaeng did have a similar role, they were purely for the entertainment of the upper classes, as well were enslaved from the lowest castes. The role of the Kisaeng is more similar to that of the Tayū and Oiran, since they had to be skilled in almost everything from music to poetry.

      Japan is a beautiful country with amazing people. Their kindness and care is rare, as is their innocence. They've built a truly remarkable society and culture. I consider myself privileged to live amongst them. They are also deeply spiritual and overall deeply connected with nature, which reflects in their reverence of the many kami they see in the world around them.
      A friend of mine once told me about a visit she made to Paris. She said she could feel the kami all around her in the beautiful buildings and places of worship, but was sad to see the Parisians so blind to their rich presence.
      Her comments reflect a sentiment I've heard from many Japanese who have travelled to the west. That westerners seem oblivious and blind to the spiritual world all around them.

      ​@@Durray13 It can definitely be a difficult concept to grasp, so I don't blame you not understanding, I didn't either for a long time.
      There is something called the Holy Trinity, which is Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is God, and God is Jesus in human form, but God and Jesus are also separate, and both have the Holy Spirit in them.
      Jesus has all of the powers of God, but can live, feel emotions, and die. He was fully divine, and also fully human, in other words, perfect.
      God created Jesus to be a messenger to humanity, that He has taken on the debt of all of our past, present, and future sin.
      A lot of people back then didn't think that Jesus was God either, and they killed Him for it, so you're not alone in not believing in that, just don't kill anyone over it lol
      I hope this helped to explain it! If you need anything else, please ask. Take care brother, and God Bless you

      While there can be some similarities at times, most of the time I tend to see "broken wisdom" where there's a view of how the world works that seems close to being true, but something is fundamentally off. AoT is a show that has an amazing premise and story, but the fundamental message that it's trying to convey isn't a good way to look at the world. There is little hope in that view. Oftentimes in anime like AoT, characters will burden themselves with sin for those they care about. It goes to show the desire to be saved but not understanding how. Kinda just putting my thoughts down so if something I said doesn't make sense, I apologize.

    My deep burning love for anime, manga, and technology have always grounded me in Japan even though I was close to living there once upon a time. Japan have scars that run deep but they channel that into something beautiful through art and storytelling. They understand what it means through hardships its can make one stronger and strong willed. They understand the beauty in brokenness but they have yet to embrace the One who loves the broken because He sees value in them. Japan is embroiled in their own religions and myths because they are trying to seek something higher than themselves. The gospel has been planted in this country but it is not growing as much because of their traditions and history, past and future hurts they can't seem to let go.

      *so.. God sacrificed God to God in order to save God's creation from God. God prayed to God for help but God didn't help God, and God killed God with help from humans. And that God is a father of himself and the mother of himself and the son of mother he created at the same time. He is also eternal but his birthday is...? 🤡

      The main harm and danger caused by the man-made Bible and the man-made Quran is, that even though they contain man-made wisdom, they also contain man-made errors that are claimed to be the word of their god.
      By that, they expect the reality to adjust to those errors and not vice versa.
      Thats very harmful, especially as those man-made and “godly claimed” errors include topics like e.g. astronomy, evolution, biology and homosexuality.

      Yet Cnut wanted to create heaven on earth before Jesus's return, from what I have seen. That is one of the major mistakes most Christians believe in. Jesus doesn't come to a world that is perfect; he comes to a world to take his Bride home in the Rapture before a period of destruction begins with the Antichrist and the Jews go through one last test for God, where they will repent and call for Jesus to come back. He will then come back with his bride to destroy the Antichrist and False Prophet, seal the Devil away and set up heaven on earth for a thousand years before the Devil is loosed to tempt one last time before the Heavens and the Earth are destroyed by God and the Devil is thrown into the Lake of Fire where the Antichrist and False Prophet are. The dead will then resurrect for the Great White Throne of Judgement, where they will be judged before being thrown into the Lake of Fire. Then after all that, God creates a new heaven and new earth with New Jerusalem within it.
      It's amazing how you brought up Vinland Saga, on the count of both that and Japan had a lot of things in common. The major being that both, including those being persecuted during the Sakoku Policy, were Roman Catholics who were uneducated about the scriptures and relied only on tradition. I am a True Born Again Bible-Believing Christian who TRUSTS wholeheartedly in the shed blood of Jesus Christ that washes away all my sins and STAND in the Gospel of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV, and I do show sympathy on those who are uneducated and unaware that just because they claim to be Christian, that does not mean that they truly are. Say that there are 40% of Christians in a country, only 6-7% are the real Macoy. As I have given you of the Gospel, that is how you can tell that you are that 6-7%, but it all must come from the understanding of the heart, your soul, your entire being.
      I hope this is very helpful to you.

    Thanks, very nicely done. I’m living in Osaka and work with missionaries quite often. One thing I believe is very important to this brokenness theme is to make sure everyone we witness to in Japan understand the world we see today is not the world God originally made, and is a temporary condition of our world. God will restore perfection, as it was before the enemy death came. We need to point them first to Genesis so they can understand where this brokenness came from, then show them God sent His son to take the penalty for our sin. The perfect Judge and perfect love came together at the cross. We must never compromise with the philosophies of this age from the god of this world. I’m talking about evolution and Big Bang which by necessity place death before sin, meaning it’s Gods fault, not our fault ! That is what I teach quite often so Japanese can be rooted and grounded properly. Thanks and God bless !

    I once read that one of the hardest things about preaching in Asia is that you have to tell them their ancestors aren't in Heaven. As non believers, they're either in Hell or annihilated. And so, many reject the gospel, as who would be OK with that? If only more preachers would talk about the universal restoration. They'd know that even it took a bit longer... They'd see them again.

    As an 18 year old with mental health problems , it's strange how God works . I love that part in the video where you talk about how the broken bowl is fixed and becomes new and beautiful. Because I was at my lowest point ever , I ran away from home , lied and hurt people that I love . And in that moment when I was calm God spoke to me . For a lot of people they leave God because they can't hear him or see him . The thing is he doesn't speak to you directly , he speaks to you by making you feel him and if your eyes are open by the actions of those who care for you. So I ask you lord be with those in need , make them know you in their hearts and guide them.

    I’m a young Christian American in his early twenties who has been making art his whole life, but until recently I’ve been having a bad existential crisis and have been questioning everything I’ve loved and known to be true, including art and my faith. My family and I have also been very fond of Japan and Japanese culture and society and during COVID we would bond through watching Studio Ghibli films during lockdown some nights before bed. Recently, I’ve been rewatching those movies and even though they aren’t Christian (and they’re made by Hayao Miyazaki, a grumpy old man who’s NOT Christian at all), those films are overflowing with beauty, and I think this video encapsulates perfectly what I’m going through and trying to talk about.
    I, just like the Japanese people, am enamored with art and yet is struggling to find the beauty in life or even the purpose of art. I relate a lot to/am inspired by the story of the woman in this video who struggled to work with art after finding out her husband’s secrets; even though she went through a heartbreaking season of her life, she managed to see God in that season and to see God in the beauty of her art, and I need to learn to do the same.
    One reason Japanese Christians inspire me so much is that even though they did not grow up in a Christian society at all (less than 1% of their population are Christians), they go at it with such excitement and enthusiasm that I’m lacking as a person who grew up in a Christian household. Thank you for making this video and I pray that Japan can come to know God more in years to come.

If some of the Japanese find this through the Christian understanding then so be it, if it can reduce their pain by even a margin then its worth it.
    I hope that Buddhists can likewise have this kind of effect on the world, to create pathways to finding the Dharma and provide comfort to a suffering world just like our Christian cousins.
    Good luck to you all, I hope that you may bring peace, even if little, to the multitude.

    It was refresh to see such a good series about Japanese Christianity like this. I was born and raised in Japan until I was 40. I believe the biggest problem in Japan outreach is that there is no concept of believing in God. They believe goodness is only coming from luck or maybe from their direct ancestors. Though they tend to believe random sprits that may cause you bad luck. Since they don’t believe God’s existence, they don’t believe miracles. Therefore, Jesus’ miracle birth is hard to accept, let alone resurrection of Jesus. Also, there is no concept of “sins” because they don’t believe the existence of perfect God to compare. If I say we are all sinners, unless one has committed a real crime, everyone would get offended really bad therefore, they can’t repent to God and show their repentance by action. Reach out through the brokenness of people, tell them Jesus loves you, are easy way to feel accepted (not only in Japan), but that way would take a long time to grow in maturity - in order to get through suffering, trials, and storms. In my opinion, I don’t like to say Jesus loves you to unbelievers. Jesus said, if you love me, obey my word. Or unbelievers may say, then if he loves me, why natural disasters happened? First, let them understand the concept of perfect God, only true God, righteous Father, Holy Father, I believe that is the right way. Present them hard facts about Jesus and let them investigate themselves to come to the conclusion that Jesus is God.

      That’s actually a good argument… nice explanation! But john 14 isn’t if you obey me I love you, it was if you love me, obey me and Lord Jesus will be with us and dwell in us. Lord Jesus is love, and until the judgement day, He will continue to love us because He cannot deny Himself. I would like to think till the end of our days He loves us and hopes for us to repent till the last breath. John 15 says we will die if we do not abide in His words, but He never states He does not love us. As stated like how a woman cannot forget the baby she births, God would never forget us. He loves us all sinners

    I so, so desperately want to help spread the gospel through Japan. I have had a life long love for Japan and have been throughout a lot of the country a couple times. My church a year or so ago gave a presentation on their missionary outreach and progress. I was adamant that we try to reach the Japanese. I can't think of a people less reached and in need for the Lord. Their response was essentially that the Japanese were hard to convert (cant think of a better word) and thus their resources were better used elsewhere. I was really disheartened by the response. I felt like we are just leaving them to die. I am so thankful there are people like you reaching out and I would love to be able to aid in some way doing the same thing.

    I want to talk about some incredibly important CHRISTIAN history that's been forgotten when it comes to Japan. It concerns the end of World War 2.
    Did you know that Japan was once home to the LARGEST Christian church in ALL of Asia? The Urakami Cathedral had been constructed within the Urakami District, this location was where hidden Christians resided during the 17th to 19th centuries during the nation's ban on Christianity. It's a miracle of God that they managed to thrive throughout that time and were able to construct this cathedral once the ban was lifted.
    The City that the Urakami District resided in had been a stronghold of Christianity in Japan since the 16th century, with a resilient community that survived centuries of persecution. The city had the largest concentration of Christians in Japan, and the Urakami Cathedral was a central place of worship and community life. What city did the Urakami district reside in? Nagasaki.
    The atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, was detonated extremely close to the Urakami Cathedral.
    The bomb, known as "Fat Man," exploded approximately 500 meters away from the Urakami Cathedral. The cathedral was almost directly under the bomb's hypocenter. The force of the explosion devastated the church, causing it to be destroyed along with the surrounding area. The proximity of the detonation to the cathedral is one of the reasons why the destruction in the area was so severe.
    The American government and military were responsible for the loss of the hyper majority of the Christian community in Nagasaki, and without a shadow of a doubt had eviscerated the Christian influence in that country all at once. Their excuse for why they detonated the bomb over the largest influence of Christianity in all of Japan? It was an accident. They missed their target apparently, which was far, FAR away. Everything I've studied points to the fact that Satan had a hand in this monstrous moment in history. It was deliberate. And now Japan has one of the lowest Christian influences compared to other countries worldwide.
    We must pray for a revival in Japan. We must repent for our support of evil American actions that led to the loss of so many innocent, Christian lives. I beg you. I beg all of you. Pray for Japan.
