Japan is known for a LOT of weird things, but Honensai or Honen Matsuri REALLY takes the cake! There seems to be a celebratory focus on what may appear to be crass on the surface. But what is Honensai REALLY about? Let's look past the western-made vulgarity, and see what this matsuri is REALLY about!

Kama Sutra doesn't exist "cuz its lewd". Kama Sutra exists because it's an important part of culture with an everlasting long history. Same for this Japanese Honensai festival.

@VVEmil 5 жыл бұрын

Sure, people nowadays can think what they will of it but it's original value and meaning remains unchanged.

@rogerogue7226 4 жыл бұрын

The Kamasutra isn't even a sex book. It's a dang marriage book on how to have a good marriage, with chapters for each aspect of life, like eating, communicating, and yes, chapter 7 was famously about bed activities as well, because that is in fact important to a good marriage. It's just that every western "translator" who brought out editions in the west insisted on removing context, or even entire chapters to capitalise on sex sales. UGH.

Fun fact - in ancient greece, some festivals included similar processions. During the Dionysia in celebration of the god Dionysos, they would carry around skulptured phalli as well. So if someone thinks this is offensive, bad luck - the origins of western civilization are just as offensive as well.

@sophiejones7727 4 жыл бұрын

kept going long after ancient times. A lot of traditional pastries look like dicks or vaginas, because they were originally made for spring planting festivals. We English-speakers just don't tend to point out the resemblance. But over in France, they don't usually have a problem with it.

One of them bright pink that is carried by transgender/crossdressers, so it is inclusive. The festival is to celebrate the defeat of a demon that took up residence in a woman's nether regions, where a blacksmith created an item to break it's teeth and therefore slay it.

This video was a true delight to watch, thank you for talking about even the parts of the culture that places like KZfaq aren't really good with in a sensitive and fun way

It's been five days since this video was uploaded and it showed up on the front page of recommended content for myself, a previous non-subscriber. You're doing great!

Dont stop these. I feel giddy when you teach us Japanese culture. I love all your videos about culture just as much as the origins of games and all

I loved the video! I think this format can unite a lot of your audience! since sometimes not everyone will know the specific game you are analysing in some of the other types of videos in the channel

Thanks for making this video, I always love learning about the culture on it's own without a game or anime tie in.

Anyone who goes against this video are disrespectful of Japanese culture Also this happens upon my birthday of every year? 😁

Well, people do have a habit of being disrespectful of other cultures. The most prominent example being Christianity, which did not only disrespect, but outright REMOVED or heavily desecrated most culture of America, Africa, Australia and Europe.

@ I didn't mention Islam because I used the MOST prominent example. Of course there might be 'good' Christians (mostly those who keep their stuff to themselves and only teach it when being asked instead of trying to spread it), but that doesn't negate the truth of my statement.

@ Religious believe should come to fruition by people trying to get into it themselves, not by being handed out like fliers of Jehova's witnesses. And I'm not going around telling people "Hey, stop spreading that stuff", I just silently walk past that type of people.

Man, we don't care the videos aren't connected to videogames! This is my favorite kind of content you make, just talking about the Japanese culture and explaining their rituals. You have no idea how many time I've explained how Japanese people celebrate the New Year to anyone willing to listen! You're one of my favorite youtubers

@JamesTaylor-xx7hg 4 жыл бұрын

I love seeing you do full deep dives into Japanese culture without the context of video games and anime. I learned a lot. I'd like to see you do more videos like this
