Children of Yamato 5/15/2025

I watched the documentary movie “Children of Yamato” “大和の赤子”.  This movie was created by an American man who was born in America but grew up in Japan. He loves Japan and wants Japanese people to be proud of being Japanese. His movie reminded me of my German boss whom I met when I was 30 years old. He is a German and loves Japan. He has lived in Japan for 17 years when I met him. He has studied about Japanese culture and Japanese Shinto, the creation story, and so, he knew much more about Japan than I did. Now that I live in America, away from Japan, I see things differently from the past, I started understanding about Japanese culture and wisdom from our ancestors. I now respect Japanese wisdom and culture much more than before. And I appreciate the foreigners who respect Japan and Japanese people for our culture. Japan has been suffering in many aspects. I sincerely hope each Japanese individuals will remind of their roots and respect themselves and our ancestors, and win back our pride and culture in our beautiful land. Nihonjin, Ganbarou!!
