  • This time I traveled all the way to the mysterious island of Amakusa, to look at a rock and learn about the Hidden Christians in Japan, but the epiphany I had was more that of ice cream than faith.

    There's a famous 'Nagoro Scarecrow Village' that was all but abandoned due to the aging population and children moving away so one woman brought the village back to life with scarecrow dolls. I think this roadside attraction is inspired by that since even the doll designs look similar in construction.

    • @upg5147
      @upg5147 6 місяців тому +61

      From what I researched, it was made by a singular lady because of the depopulation of the village and wanted to make it seem full of life like it used to be. There are approximately only 30 people in the village and scarecrows are about 10 to 1. It's a bittersweet story.

    I moved to Japan this year and I live in a rural town. I was exploring the mountainous hinterland of the otherwise dense coastal town and I stumbled on a sign that said ‘Maria, goddess of light’ and new that it would either take me to Kan’on Maria statue or I would be abducted by some syncretic cult. It turns out it was a Kan’on Maria statue, which surprised me because I always thought that they were limited to Kyushu but I guess I am not that far away and there were hidden Christians all throughout Japan

As a video game nut myself I found myself hard pressed to catch every reference. I want to say your monologue was an Ocean Hunter one but I might be wrong.
    Still, superb video, extremely relaxing, and I enjoyed eating my lunch while watchhing it. Kudos!

    This was a great video! I really enjoy learning about Japan and their culture/cuisine! If you did start making more videos about the history of Japan, I’d definitely be interested!

    Your vids, and even your shorts are so cool. I love all the info. Your dry sense of humor is freaking epic. Your channel is literally my favorite . I look every day few x a day to see when u drop content! Keep it up ..... Your extremely lucky to have gotten the chance to live in japan for a period of time. ❤😊
