Pretending to be "Mary Kan non" マリア観音
which is The Virgin Mary in Buddhism style. [link] (In old japan, chiristianity was not allowed, so japanese christians ended up worshipping Buddhism figures instead.) By the way, Buddhism is/was the most popular religion in Japan, but it came from India. (India > China > Japan) Japanese original religion is Shinto.神道 Buddhism = nuns(Ama-san), monks(Bon-san) they're in temples. Shinto = maidens (Miko-san), Shinto-priests(Kannushi-san) they're in shrines. For example: In the manga Inuyasya, Kikyou is a maiden, Miroku is a monk, Kagome's grandfather is a Shinto priest. |
