skip to main skip to sidebar Deaf Japan News Why not find what happened or what is going on in the Deaf Community in Japan? Saturday, March 7, 2009 Japanese Deaf History: Ancient time until 1800's - People have fear toward the unusual appearance of persons with disabilities overlapped with the divine nature. - Some ancient documents, such like "Nihonshoki" and "Kojiki" which include "Ebisu myth", tell that child born with disability is taken to the boat and sent far away. - Ancient princes born mute to the ancient royalty. - God with disability appears in folk beliefs. Belief that he is enshrined remains. - People have hateful feeling and disgust against persons with strange appearances as well as reverence feeling for the uncommonness. - Karma spreads by transmitting the Buddhism through Korea from India. ("Karma" is the idea that the happiness or unhappiness in this world are the fate not made easily even if not going by the sin in the previous life; one can escape the sin by piling up the good deeds and pious acts in this world, and keep oneself happy in the next world.) - Persons with disabilities and/or the fatal disease unable to do nothing but thought they have a sin, and deserted by the family: they chased away from temples, and continue roaming on the riverside and the road.

Well, apart from suitably honouring what might be the greatest engrish translation ever to grace a 16 bit game console, I think it is important to preserve ancient cultural treasures. As such, I am entirely willing to part with some of my hard earned cash if I know it's going for a good cause, such as maintaining the roof. On the other hand, the definition of "ancient" works differently on the internet. On the net, "ancient" is about 1997. So, I thought it was important to preserve some ancient internet history in a place that has cultural relevance in the real world. Yeah.
