There are people that still practice the secret form of Christianity they were doing during the Tokugawa period because it was banned, but after 1869 that ban’s been lifted. What was the book?

skooma512 posted:There are people that still practice the secret form of Christianity they were doing during the Tokugawa period because it was banned, but after 1869 that ban’s been lifted. Holy Ghosts: The Christian Century in Modern Japanese Fiction Christians are a tiny minority in Japan, less than one percent of the total population. Yet Christianity is ubiquitous in Japanese popular culture. From the giant mutant "angels" of the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise to the Jesus-themed cocktails enjoyed by customers in Tokyo's Christon café, Japanese popular culture appropriates Christianity in both humorous and unsettling ways. By treating the Western religion as an exotic cultural practice, Japanese demonstrate the reversibility of cultural stereotypes and force reconsideration of global cultural flows and East-West relations. Of particular interest is the repeated reappearance in modern fiction of the so-called "Christian century" of Japan (1549-1638), the period between the arrival of the Jesuit missionaries and the last Christian revolt before the final ban on the foreign religion. Literary authors as different as Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, Endō Shūsaku, Yamada Fūtarō, and Takemoto Novala, as well as film directors, manga and anime authors, and videogame producers have all expressed their fascination with the lives and works of Catholic missionaries and Japanese converts and produced imaginative reinterpretations of the period. InHoly Ghosts, Rebecca Suter examines the popularity of the Christian century in modern Japanese fiction and reflects on the role of cross-cultural representations. Since the opening of the ports in the Meiji period, Japan's relationship with Euro-American culture has oscillated between a drive towards Westernization and an antithetical urge to "return to Asia." Exploring the twentieth-century's fascination with the Christian century enables Suter to reflect on modern Japan's complex combination of Orientalism, self-Orientalism, and Occidentalism.

Anyway if someone wants to (legally) ship me random machine parts made mostly of gold, I won't mind.

A corporate drone on another website (no, not Reddit) responded to the story of Google workers being fired by saying, "Well, they shouldn't have denigrated the company they work for!". I asked what it feels like to have his lips planted firmly on Google's asscheeks and he got pretty mad at that. I'm fine with Google losing whatever brain trust it has left to continue supporting genocide. Google withering and dying on the vine would be a good thing.

Danann posted:https://twitter.com/philippilk/status/1782409654519128497 Is this really true? For example Canada uses the low energy Canadian dollar and living standards for normal people are similar to the US. Uncritically interpreting the average national income as a quality of life indicator for non-rich people when the income distribution is highly unequal also seems misguided. Don't disagree with the main point that the decline of the petrodollar will likely puncture a lot of America's various bubbles.

Uncritically interpreting the average national income as a quality of life indicator for non-rich people when the income distribution is highly unequal also seems misguided. yes, just like the chart shrike posted last week, you should instead be looking at PPP median household income even then, you're still only capturing one aspect of QoL. taking a look at Life Expectancy, Childbirth Mortality, Suicide Rates etc, paints a very different picture compared to other wealthy economies
