Title: calling all japaneses EBers.
Post by: Madrun Badrun on July 31, 2007, 06:49:33 PM
Do the Japaneses have a symbol for hell, or there equivalent of hell.  Like they have Shinto gates for heaven.

If I trolled harder, I'd make you cry, so I have to be careful, babylumps.

I don't even understand the question.

They of course have a word for Hell and Japanese characters for Hell.

Are you asking about Hell's branding initiatives?

Arvie probably wants to get a tattoo that says heaven on one asscheek and hell on the other.  Y'know, for when TVC gives him a good rodgering.

I'm just looking for any symbols or things that associate to the Shinto hell, if such a thing exists.

What do you mean the "shinto hell"? Is that different from the Western or Buddhist concepts of Hell? it's all the same word.

Jigoku - 地獄 - "earth prison"

also Torii gates are symbolic of the boundary between Earth and Heaven, not Heaven itself

Thanks that helps.  I didn't know if there was a differences in hell, and I didn't know that the gates symbolic of the boundary between Earth and Heaven -- that kind of ruins the theme I was going for, lol.  O well thanks.

according to Wikipedia that is never wrong,

"Torii mark the transition from the sacred (the shrine) to the profane (the normal world)"

do you know if there is some object that would be the opposite of that, something to mark a transition from earth to hell? -- though that would be a little weird if such a thing existed, lol.

I have the movie Jigoku, and in the Criterion essays, it's pointed out that the title is generally translated as hell.

You ever see that movie?  I think I have asked you before.  It is pretty neat.

Mike had been gone all night. Slowly he made his way into the darkened room, which he had built with his hands. A slight murmur from the left side of the bed rose into the air; soon a voice further broke the room's silence. "I thought you were gone forever." Mike unbuttoned his vest, his pants the only other clothing on his pulsating, red body; he had left his mud drenched boots at the front door of the manor. "I couldn't leave, not yet." Lifting his weight from the ground like a small child, he quickly climbed into the rather large bed alongside his company. A hand slowly rose to meet his face, moving the vines of hair out of his brown eyes. "You've never been this early before..." "I've never wanted you more," said Mike, his firm voice breaking the room's silence even more; he was in control tonight. Gently he pushed the hand out his face, and with his other he brought the guest closer to his body. They embraced. "Ichirou, I'm sorry." They kissed, their mouths connecting like lock and bolt. Strong. Perfect. Exact. With a quick motion Mike was on top; his vest now slowly falling to the floor. Tonight was his night. The manor was filled with moans throughout the night, the room's once impenetrable silence a distant memory long forgotten

I haven't seen Jigoku yet, no. I do want to see it. And yeah, "Jigoku" means "Hell" as much as it does in English.

so then would any symbolism from other hells carry over, like skulls and death, diseasing, war ect?
