This content is a performance of a Japanese Rakugo story titled "Hats Tenjin" (First Visit to Tenjin Shrine), which humorously depicts a father and son's New Year's visit to a shrine, highlighting their bickering, the son's persistent requests for gifts, and the father's reluctant compliance, all set against the backdrop of Japanese New Year customs.

ladies and gentlemen welcome to my
online raccoon project yay
i'm gonna get pumped up because i don't
have audience members right in front of me
me
it's just me camera and you on the other
side of the internet
welcome ladies and gentlemen my name is
canadia aishi
and i am an english recruit performer
based here in auckland new zealand
this is the fourth installment
of my online rakugo project and i'll be
sharing the story called
hats tenjin or their first visit to tenjin
tenjin
shrine it is a japanese custom to visit
the local shrine during the new year's holidays
holidays
usually first second or third to pray for
for
the health and happiness of the family
and friends
but it's not necessarily um
spiritual occasion i
personally go to those shrines to browse at
at
shops and also try something yummy from uh
uh
street vendors uh lots of people just go
to shrines to feel the happy vibe
to begin the new year and it is said
that in japan
we celebrate at the shinto shrines
and we get married at christian churches
and when we die we have buddhist
funerals so
it's kind of complicated uh spirituality
in japan it's said that depending on the survey
survey
70 to 80 percent of japanese people say
they are non-religious they don't
believe in any religions
but at the same time about 69 percent of
people say they are shintous
and the 67 percent of people say
they're buddhists and about 2 1.5 to two percent
percent
of the people say they're christians so
uh that
add up to over two hundred percent
i'm pretty sure it's not that we are
numerically challenged kind of people
we're pretty good at math but uh
it's because uh lots of people believe
multiple religions like
you know shintous often believe buddhism
as well
and vice versa so it's very complicated
uh japanese spiritual
world but anyway so this is
just a trivia which is
absolutely nothing to do with the story
i'm just about to tell you
but i hope you'll enjoy uh the story called
called hatstenjin
