🇯🇵 Currently, Japan is under a lot of pressure to adopt the failed immigration policies of the UK, France etc. However, no matter what they tell us, Japan will always remain unapologetically Japanese. We will never change who we are.

@TaylorRMarshall *carmelite rite still exists today at my parish

I'll admit that Trads are more guilty of “lay policing.” It’s not always their fault. Heres why: Whenever someone starts attending the traditional Latin Mass, they learn that before Vatican II, it was the same everywhere on the planet. You could go to Mass in Germany, Mexico City, or Hong Kong, and it was always the same liturgy. That’s true when it comes to the text and the rubrics. It’s not true when it comes to local customs and local expressions. I’ve had the privilege of leading Pilgrimages to Mexico, Italy, Jerusalem, Portugal, France, Spain, etc. The traditional pilgrims are often confused when they see local variations. For example, we’re at a traditional Latin mass in Portugal and they say “Well, my Latin Mass chapel in Omaha, Nebraska does it another way, so that means this Latin Mass in Portugal is doing it the wrong way.” They innocently assume that their Latin Mass experience back home is the gold standard of Latin Mass throughout the world. When it comes to local customs, standing, sitting, kneeling, bowing entrances, chant, tempo, organ interludes, altar boy activity, silence, responses, etc. there is true variation in what happens in the accidental properties of a traditional Latin Mass. And this says nothing of the various rites and uses (Sarum, Dominican, Carmelite, Ambrosian, etc) that coexisted in previous centuries. Perhaps Trad apologetics should soften on the conviction that all TLMs globally are necessarily identical. They are not.

@tanpukunokami after a meal : We give Thee thanks, Almighty God, for all Thy benefits, who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

@tanpukunokami just be Catholic and give thanks to God instead of a grain of rice . Catholics before every meal : Bless us, oh Lord, and these thy gifts, we are about to receive, through thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

"Itadakimasu" — said before every meal in Japan. "Gochisousama" — said after. Translated literally: "I humbly receive" and "It was a feast." But the real meaning runs deeper. When a Japanese person says "itadakimasu," they're not just thanking the cook. They're thanking the rice for being rice. The fish for being fish. The farmer who woke up at 4am. The truck driver who delivered it. The rain. The sun. The phrase has roots in Buddhist and Shinto traditions, where every living thing — even a single grain of rice — is treated as sacred. Children learn it in school. Adults say it without thinking. It's woven into daily life so quietly that most Japanese people never stop to consider its weight. But here's the weight: Three times a day, every day, an entire country pauses for half a second to remember that something gave its life so they could eat. The rice was alive. The fish was alive. "Itadakimasu" is how that gets remembered.

@BTCBreadMan they'll get over it. they'll adjust rapidly if a better school

Wife and I found an amazing house today on 2 acres of land in a very nice neighborhood. Significant upgrade from our current home/yard/hood. The kiddos want to veto it because they would have to switch elementary schools. They are in 2nd grade and kindergarten. Dad advice?

@tanpukunokami convenience stores in Japan changed my life

Forget sushi. Forget ramen. The food foreigners can't stop eating in Japan is fried chicken from a convenience store. It's called Famichiki. $1.60. Boneless. Handed to you at the FamilyMart register in a yellow and white striped paper bag. Released in 2006. 2.5 billion sold. #1 selling item across ~16,400 FamilyMart stores. Not just hot snacks. Across every product they sell. This is the one.

@tanpukunokami train stations in Japan changed my life

In Japan, train stations don't just sell food. They sell regional identity. It's called "ekiben" — station bento. Every box uses local ingredients, local recipes, and local pride. Over 4,000 varieties exist nationwide. Each one is tied to a specific station. Arrive at Yonezawa in Yamagata, and you'll find thinly sliced beef over rice, glazed with a secret sauce. Its origin: a recipe used over a century ago to coat traditional Japanese sweet buns. Arrive at Yokohama, and you'll find Kiyōken's shumai dumpling bento — the same basic lunch box that's been sold for over 70 years. Today, it moves about 30,000 units every single day. Arrive at Yokogawa in Gunma, and you'll find rice and chicken steamed inside a real ceramic pot. The pot is handmade in a 162-year-old pottery town that was nearly bankrupt before this bento saved it. Over 180 million sold to date. Arrive at Matsusaka in Mie, and you'll find a lunch box shaped like a cow's face. Open the lid, and it plays "Furusato" — a famous Japanese folk song about home. Arrive at Hiroshima, and you'll find two grilled conger eels placed side by side, like a couple. The name means "married eels." Arrive at Sendai, and you'll find a lunch box that heats itself up. Pull a string, wait 3 minutes, and out comes steaming hot beef tongue — on a bullet train. Every January, Tokyo's Keio Department Store hosts a 2-week "Ekiben Festival." Over 300 varieties from every corner of Japan. $6 million in sales. It all started in 1885, when a railway inn in Utsunomiya sold two rice balls wrapped in bamboo leaves. Price: 5 sen. 140 years later, ekiben has become a culinary map of Japan — where every station is a chapter, and every lunch box tells you where you are. Other countries invented travel food. Japan turned it into a regional love letter.

@majoriansmusing @_GodFamilyGuns_ @Catholicizm1 I liked a few random Japanese posts that popped up on my timeline, then like da few more, a couple follows, nowy timeline is about 80% Japan posting and I'm never going back

The Catholic media civil war is going to get very interesting. People I formerly considered friends and allies are going to become enemies.

@SHINGEN_Spirit talk me out of believing western scholars trying to tell me all the samurai were gay. especially Shingen, citing his "love letters " to a his page or retainer or something along those lines. are they just trying gayify Japanese history like they try to do with western history ?
