Tashirojima, or as it’s more commonly known (for obvious reasons), “Cat Island” is a small island in Ishinomaki, Japan. With only approximately 100 people living on the island and thousands of stray cats, it’s a cat-lovers dream come true. It is believed that the population of cats thrives due to a belief that feeding cats will bring good fortune. Dogs are even prohibited from the island! In the middle of the island lies a small cat shrine. The story behind this shrine lies with the fishermen of the island. They said that the cats would come and beg for fish, and they would often give into the cats and feed them. On one occasion, the fishermen were collecting rocks for their fixed nets and one fell, killing one of the cats. Feeling guilty and upset about the loss of the cat, they buried it and built a shrine.

‘For years, there’s only been one passenger waiting at the Kami-Shirataki train station in the northernmost island of Hokkaido, Japan: A high-school girl, on her way to class. The train stops there only twice a day—once to pick up the girl and again to drop her off after the school day is over.It sounds like a Hayao Miyazaki film. But according to CCTV News, it was a decision that Japan Railways—the group that operates the country’s railway network—made more than three years ago. At that time, ridership at the Kami-Shirataki station had dramatically fallen because of its remote location, and freight service had ended there as well. Japan Railways was getting ready to shut the station down for good—until they noticed that it was still being used every day by the high-schooler. So they decided to keep the station open for her until she graduates. The company’s even adjusted the train’s timetable according to the girl’s schedule. The unnamed girl is expected to graduate this March, which is when the station will finally be closed.’

It’s really weird but kinda heartwarming that in Japan it’s tradition to have KFC for Christmas dinner? Like Christmas isn’t a big holiday in Japan to begin with but in the 1970s KFC launched this ad campaign about having KFC for Christmas and it just took off and now KFC has Christmas wine and everything and you have to reserve KFC Christmas dinners in advance and it’s so weird but kinda cute?

I wonder what kind of symbolism they’re trying to get at

oscob

“There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.” -Kazuya Tsurumaki, assistant director/art director on Neon Genesis Evangelion

eva is literally fake deep

#i love this tbh #like their treating christianity like white people treat buddhism and what not is such an unintentional fuck you

whetstonefires

tbh the Japanese sprinkling Christianity into their media like a cheap vaguely spooky seasoning is a tonic for my soul

Christmas cake is also a thing in Japan because it’s thought to be something Americans do and it got started because of American soldiers after WWII and Christian missionaries (at least that’s what I’ve read) but it’s just usually a vanilla and cream cake with strawberries and it always looks so cute and tasty

kaijuno

At least that’s better than fruit cake which I’m convinced has never been edible and if anything it’s a weapon.

its so gross and dense its just a fucking brick
