The Truth About Japan - Part 9.2 - The Secret History Between Japan and Jews - Judaism and Shinto
The religious and mystic side of Japan is very jewish
For many decades now, Japanese and Jewish researchers have pointed out various similarities between the native religion of the modern Japanese, Shintoism, and Judaism. While they do have their differences, their similarities are undeniable.
Shintoism has its own version of Jewish stories like the Binding of Isaac in the Ontohsai festival, which is for a Shinto god called Misakuchi, a god that has “Isaac” in its name. Shinto has its own version of the story of Jacob and Esau with the story of Ninigi stealing devine rights from another and becoming the forefather of the modern Japanese.
The Japanese have their own version of the Ark of the Covenant: the Omikoshi. The simularities include them being gold and having winged beings on them. The Japanese shout the Hebrew word for lift when carrying this ark.
There are simularities between Shinto temples and Jewish ones, such as them having similar layouts and neither having idols inside them. Both religions push the idea of their people being "chosen" or "divine", as the Japanese believed that they are a divine race that has the right to rule over others, not too different from how Jews see themselves and their relationship to their “god”.
Some of the traditional outfits Shinto priests wear are similar to traditional Jewish clothing. Jewish researchers have found similarities between Japanese words and words in Hebrew related to the Jewish religion. Some even claim there are similarities between some of the characters in the Japanese writing systems and Hebrew characters, but it is hard to say there is a solid link when it comes to comparing these alphabets.
In both Shinto and Japanese folklore, there is a demon called a “Tengu”. This creature of folklore originates from China and Buddhism, and is often depicted as an animal. However, apparently in the 14th century of Japan, the Tengu demon would become more humanoid, being illustrated with a long nose and black box-like item on its head called a “tokin”, not unlike mystic Jews that wear the black cube of Saturn on their head with the black cord around their arms. The black cube Jews wear on their heads is called a “tefillin”, perhaps sharing a similar name origin to the tokin, and symbolizes Jewish mysticism dominating the material world, and their demonic “heavenly kingdom” being on earth, that is to say chaos reigning over the world. The black cube of course ties into Saturn worship, which to the Jews is just another name for their “god”. The black cord they wrap around their arm symbolizes the serpent in the tree of life rising to the top of the tree, where the tree shall be inverted, good shall become evil, evil shall become good, and Jews will openly rule over the world and kill all that refuse to worship them as gods. The strap is on their left arm, symbolizing the “Left Hand Path”.
To this day, many traditional and religious ceremonies in Japan feature Japanese men wearing the tokin on their heads. A clear link can be made from the Tengu to the outfits Japanese priests wear. These priests also blow on a sea shell like how Jews will blow on a shofar. The Tengu is said to be the teacher to Japanese priests, giving them a magical scroll called the "tora no maki", which literally has "Torah" in the name. With their long nose, bearded face, the tefillin, and the Torah, the Tengu look more like cartoonish rabbis than Japanese spirits. As was shown in my video on Nintendo, the “Disney of video games”, they used the Tangu on their playing cards when they were in the gambling business. Jews have a long history in the world of gambling.
Beyond the Tengu, we can find similarities of trolls between Europe and Japan, as both can be seen as analogies for Jews. In Japan, a troll-like demon called the “nigawarai” are ugly creatures with big noses and horns. They are born from, or create, negative feelings. In some European folklore, trolls could smell the blood of Christians and would eat them, until Christians hunted them all to extinction. This of course lines up with reports of Jews killing and drinking the blood of young Christian boys through European history. There are other stories of trolls that line up with Jews, such as being ugly beasts with big noses and a fear of sunlight.
Like the Tangu, there is a Shinto god that has similarities to this folklore being, called Sarutahiko Okami. This Shinto god also has a long nose that seems rather Jewish and in some depictions he has red skin, and he is the leader of the more earthly gods. For some time, he was seen as the main sun god in Shintoism before the goddess Amaterasu.
Let us compare this sun goddess Amaterasu to sun worship in the Western world. To the ancient pagan Persians and Zoroastrians, they worshiped fire as a symbol of their main god who was a masculine force for good. In the Greco-Roman world, Apollo and Sol were male gods that embodied beauty, art, romance, hunting, life, and the power of the state. To the ancient Celts, their sun god Lugh was a man that stood for oaths and justice. In Christianity, the sun is related to Jesus Christ, beauty, and God's Law. While the Norse did have a female sun goddess called Sol, this goddess is very different from Amaterasu as she is basically just a female version of Apollo and is not the chief god like Amaterasu is in Shintoism. When we look at Amaterasu, we see some similarities to the Jewish goddess Shekinah. Being a goddess of chaos, Shekinah hovers over the waters of chaos before the world is created. In Shintoism, it is believed that the islands of Japan were created from the primordial sea using a divine spear. While there of course many differences been Amaterasu and Shekinah, these similarities are interesting. There are also similarities between Amaterasu and the Persian god Ahura Mazda.
The Japanese have their own occult magical system that has some similarties to Kabbalah and Freemasonry, such as the use of the pentagram. Japanese magical systems use the pentagram to represent the four elements earth, wind, fire, and water as well as a fith mystic element like aether or "light", not unlike what Freemasons believe and use it for. Other than the pentagram, the six-pointed star pop-ups in Japan more than people would think. There is a Shinto shrine that uses the six-pointed star, a Japanese clan other than the Hata used it as their symbol, and a hexagram can be drawn when linking shrines and castles in the city of Sendai. Interestingly, the city of Toyota has a flag that looks like the masonic square and compass or Crowley's symbol for Thelema, which are both based off of the Star of David.
The ninjas were basically their own secret society in Japan and some of them created their own magical system. This mystic system included magical hand signs, some of which are similar to the hand signs used by Jews when it comes their own mystical rituals.
The simularities between Jews and the Japanese created a hypothesis in the 17th century called the "Japanese-Jewish Common Ancestry Theory" that claims that the modern Japanese are the descendants of Jews and that they are one of the lost tribes of Israel. This theory has been disputed many times, but the important take away is not only was this a popular belief for the Japanese and some Jews in the past, but many Japanese people today find the idea to be enticing, including the recent Prime Minister of Japan: Fumio Kishida. Kishida was a fan of a mystery novel about this topic, which became a best seller in Japan. So much for the "Jew fearing the samurai", seems more like the samurai loves Jews and wants to be one.
There are some other shared elements between Japanese culture and Shinto with Jews to be looked into. The Japanese, like the Chinese and Koreans, deeply admire Jews and would be more than happy to find out they have kosher blood in them. Calling these would be yellow-Jews "honorary Aryans" is one of the biggest jokes in history. I say we treat Asians like the Jews they want to be.
