Religions in Japan

In Japan there is no state religion. The constitution includes the separation of Religion - State clearly. In addition, most Japanese are unaware that they are believers of some religion. But culture, tradition and idiosyncrasy in Japan are based on Buddhism ( 仏 教 ぶっ きょう ) and Shintoism (神道 しんとう) .

who are baptized Christians in Japan are less than 1% of the population, but Christmas is celebrated as a commercial event. Many people marry for the Catholic church, but in most cases it is a simple ceremony and

has no religious meaning.

In Japan there is a custom called Hatsumoude ( 初 诣 は つもう で ) is a habit of visiting temples in the first 3 days of the year. Each year more than 90 million people across Japan visit temples in these 3 days, but like Christmas, do it as an event and in most cases, has no religious meaning.

exsisted many Japanese who visit the tempol only those early days of the year. So most people do not because they are practitioners of religion.

But today we speak of religion in Japan.

could say that the Shintoism and Buddhism are two major religions in Japan.

The Shintoism is a religion of Japanese origin. In this religion, there is one God as in Christianity or Buddhism. Nor has a single sacred book like the Bible for Christians.

But there are several reference books like Kojiki

( 古 事 记 こ じき ) or Nihonshoki ( 日本 书 纪 に ほん しょき) .

Gods that appear in these Books are like the Gods of Greek myths. There is also the philosophy of Yaoyorozu-no-Kami ( 八 百 万 の 神 や お よろず の かみ ), which literally means Gods 8 million (= many Gods). Previously, we thought the Japanese in the mountains Naturareza as , river, land , trees, vegetation or animals, or natural phenomena like wind , rain , fire or lightning were Gods. (That's why add so many!).

Today I will discuss the writings Japanese. We have 4 different scripts that are Hiragana (ひ ら が な) Katakana (カタカナ) Kanji (汉字) and Romaji (ローマ字).

can say that Hiragana and Katakana are like our alphabet. A letter of Hiragana or Katakana is composed of a consonant and a vowel. Hiragana and Katakana are like uppercase and lowercase. That is, whenever there is no equivalence between them. Hiragana is used for things Japanese, and Katakana for the things of origin abroad. Also, your name will always be written in Katakana.

Hiragana (ひ ら が な)

(Click the list to see fullsize)

In the right column are the 5 vowels. Combining K, S, T, N, H, M, Y, R, W with the vowels, they form a Japanese lyrics. For example, K to A "か" (KA), S with A "さ" (SA) and so on.

Then there are more combinations. Since one of the letters to take two points "is covertiría in another letter. さ → ざ , is an example. Another letter was comvierte in another letter with a circle º. は → ぱ is an example.

This is the list of Full Hiragana

Romaji is a way of writing Japanese using the alphabet. What you see in the list next to the Japanese letters are Romaji. Romaji is used mainly for foreigners who visit Japan and letters can not read Japanese. It is not something widely used in everyday life.

Japanese Kanji are letters of Chinese origin. Exsisted many Kanji. But officially uses about 2,000 Kanji . In 9 years of compulsory education, students learn about 1,300 Kanji. When they leave the second 15-year compulsory education, they can read newspapers.

Any words can be written in Hiragana and Katakana, but not all in Kanji. Of course in Romaji also be written, but not Romaji Japanese original point, we speak of 3 scripts. Kanji represents the concept and meaning of words. There are words that phonetically sound alike but have different meanings. And this is where it makes sense to use Kanji.

For example,

"ち (chi)" could mean: Blood

( 血 )

Earth (地 )

Wisdom ( 知 )

"ひ (hi)" IRDP mean:

Day (日 ) Fire

(火 )

Sun or Sun Ray ( 阳 )

The words that have been imported from abroad are called Gairaigo (外来 语 が いらい ご). I already explained that Gairaigo, Katakana is usually used. For example, Tabak Snuff is in Japanese and is written in Katakana タバコ . But one thing that was introduced many centuries ago and brought the ancient Japanese Kanji for it. Also, you can write in Kanji, and 烟草 . Kanji for Ateji Gairaigo called (当 字 あてじ). Using Ateji, you could write your name in Kanji as well!

My new blog "THE WINDOW OF JAPAN"

was born today my new blog called "THE WINDOW OF JAPAN." The main purpose of writing in English for me is to learn and improve my knowledge of the language. To do this I thought the blog content will have to be very fun. Since I am Japanese, why not write about my country and its customs? Thus was born this blog, I hope every thing that many English speakers de él.

Japón es un pais que está en el Extremo Oriente (Kyokutou Far East), comprende miles de islas. Las 4 islas principales son Hokkaido (if Beihai, Hokkaido) Honshu (UK Honsyuu showers) Shikoku (National Shikoku) y Kyushu (baseball Kyuusyuu showers). Desde la isla más al norte to the southernmost island, there are over 3,500 km away!

Japan has over 120 million of population (almost 3 times more than Spain) in an area smaller than Spain (approximately 70% of Spain). In addition, 80% of Japan's land consists of mountains and the people are quite crowded! The houses tend to be smaller and the buildings tend to be higher than in Spain. The Tokyo area has 3 0 million inhabitants and is the largest world. Tokyo and Osaka are like Madrid and Barcelona. Are 2 major cities in the country, but they have a philosophy and customs very different from each other.

Japan is located above the Pacific Ocean plates , causing many earthquakes throughout the year. The climate of Japan is very different from Spain and is usually very wet. 4 seasons have as in Spain.

Little by little I introduce entries in this blog about culture, art, philosophy, the history, customs, etc ... about my country, Japan!
