Meaning of Swastika Symbol In Japan vs. The West
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 03. 2023
- Have you ever been to Japan and seen the swastika symbol in many public places? It's actually called ""manji"" in Japanese and has been an important symbol in Japanese Buddhism for centuries. But did you know that the Nazi regime flipped the symbol and it became associated with hate and racism? This has caused confusion for many Western people who see the manji in Japan today. We asked Japanese locals if they are aware of this association with Nazi Germany.

They weren't even really true allies in the war anyways. They signed a treaty to not attack each other but they never once actively coordinated any operations. Essentially 2 completely separate sides that just agreed not to shoot each other on sight

It’s actually scary how much they leave out when it comes to teaching WWII in Japan. Especially when it comes to the things Japan itself was up to
I think that they intentionally don't teach WWII at schools to try to hide what Japan did in these times.
And I have to say, even though Germans did bad things, at least they assume it and don't hide their story...unlike Japan.
every country leaves out its own warcrimes and unfortunate occurences, that's just how education works
@@supershid464 Japan is especially bad with it tbh. Germany is generally pretty good with teaching WWII
So many Japanese people genuinely have no idea
@@supershid464 if you mention the rape of Nanjing or unit 731 to any average person in Japan they will have no idea what happened.

Japan definitely doesn't like that part of their history
Japan doesn’t like most parts of their history, and tries to hide it
WWII was two separate wars over two different things being fought concurrently in geographically isolated theaters. Their alliance was a long-distance loose strategic one and they never fought along side each other on a battlefield to any large extent like the Brits and Americans or the Germans and Italians did. The deutschpropelleren is much more European/American history than Japanese.
“Politics makes strange bedfellows”
-Adapted from a line in Shakespeare’s ‘The tempest’.
@@treelineresearch3387 they were allies who committed atrocities supporting each other. They just don't want their history known. It's cowardly.
The Nazi party took a lot of eastern Symbols in terms for themselves. The swastika being the main one, but even the term aryan which comes from an ancient Sanskrit word meaning a noble or high-ranking person. They appropriated it as a label for their “superior race. “
The symbol was used way before by the turco-mongol, siberians and koreanic people. Indo-Europeans are gypsies.
Not only that, their salute with the arm fully extend is pretty much the Roman salute, heck even the US did that salute in the 1920s but after WWII all that had to changed.
I watched video about nazi uniforns and it looks like they put lot of thought into "branding" in general.

Crazy how vastly different cultures have the same issue when asked these types of questions. The older generations know the symbol, the history, the pain of other people, the younger ones are oblivious of history all together.
@TheIronpusher Probably because the older generation (e.g.teachers) is not teaching them about this. Or do so in an interesting enough way to make them remember.
Yup, the swastika is an ancient holy symbol that's on the oldest known statue ever found (12k years old). The Germans appropriated and reversed it.
I don't know if I should feel better or worse that other countries also struggle with their populations being poorly educated on history.
Grandpa got a little flashback💀
It's interesting that the Japanese see the "backward " swastika and attribute it to temples, where Native Americans used the same symbol as a "wheel of life" although the arms were curved. Basically used to denote spirituality and religion.
In India, this symbol is considered a holy and powerful sign . They often use it during auspicious occasions to bless us with luck and prosperity.
Similar kind of wheel was even in old slavic cultures

"It could be a band logo"
Their single called "My Struggle" actually topped the charts in 1930s and 1940s Germany
XDD
Their magnum opus "Final Solution" topped the charts with over 7 million hits. They even had a copycat act in Italy that called themselves "The Duke", but they waned in popularity through the 1940s in light of British and American influence. That, being said it enjoys a cult following in the western and, surprisingly, the middle-eastern world.
Must not forget about their banger Erika, such a nice song, loved the remix 🗿
@@tommasotosi2005erika has nothing to do with them
Or it bombed on the charts, depending on your perspective.
The old guy was spot on about lack of education.
Was about to laugh but that’s actually really disappointing
What's interesting is that he was the younger generation when it was taught that they were the bad guys. My grandparents on my dad's side lived outside of Tokyo and even after the war saw them as people who wanted to help save Japan during WW2. They saw Tokyo burn and their neighbors and other family members die in the fighting. It wasn't until my dad's generation that they were seen as the bad guys and word of their atrocities became somewhat accepted in Japan.
Maybe they don’t want the youth to completely turn on there own country like in the US surround the history of slavery.
Unnecessary guilt and blame can tear a country apart from within.
@@junsuzuki1412I wonder why that is🤔 maybe because japan committed plenty of its own atrocities
@@junsuzuki1412 Not really Japan doesn't teach the history of WW2 they still haven't even recognized the Nanjing massacre

I learned this symbol in school and people around me know it.
I think people in this video are just no-educated 😅.
But were you taught about the Unit 731 (731部隊), the massacre of Nanking (南京事件) and about the atrocities of kidnapping young girls to force them to work as sex slaves (いあんふ)?
@@xantiom
I learned unit 731 and the Nanking massacre but not sex slaves.
This is because there is no reliable evidence about sex slaves. Prostitute workers who called 慰安婦(いあんふ) in Japanese were paid a lot of money from imperial army and they were not sex slaves. They worked of their own volition
"people are not being properly educated"

teaching Japanese kids about WW2 would be like Captain America coming out his capsule and learning that he didn't end the war
I see what you did there😂
I feel like in America they would've told captian America. I live in the U.S.A we do tell our people of our past atrocities, when I was in school I learned about the internment of Japanese Civilians during the war and the generally poor treatment they underwent and the substandard living conditions they were put under.
But I doubt that many in Japan have seen the news article of an imperial soldier with an infant impaled on the end of a bayonet. And even fewer know the story behind it. Germany has to teach about the holocaust in detail, America has done the same for our past crimes, even up until and past the Bush years. I was learning about what war crimes were happening under the Obama administration when he was our president. Japan tries to ignore and hide from the problems within their society past/present. If you look into their legal system it's very telling.

honestly i believe it's less of proper education and more of something like censorship, filtered education if you will, less obviously controlled by the government, there are so many things governments hide about their country's history from the people, and it can be pretty invisible or passive. Something might be a simple google search away for them even with that freedom in their hands yet the practice is obviously effective.
The youth aren't taught, they aren't aware/don't know, they don't discuss/gossip with their peers about it, they don't ask the elderly about it, the info would be lost in plain sight.
The country known for basically having kids live at school and have stressful and difficult placement exams for higher education doesn't educate it's youth on WW2... The math ain't mathing. Kids in that country practically leave school in the evening. TF do they do there all day?

You must understand, the swastika has a history before WWII. In a good chunk of Asia, from South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, it was a symbol of good luck and a Buddhist symbol. You can find a map with swastika in not just Japan but China and Vietnam as well, to locate Buddhist temples. And you might think that 45 degree swastika is associated with the Nazi, actually even that symbol was used to indicate Buddhism. The Nazis, who were literally illiterate, found this symbol from Hindu valleys and associated it with Aryanism, a word which even more ironically, was associated with Persians and North Indians.

His ancestors say otherwise
@@orkellstefansson9601pls 😭😓
I know, how wrong he is 😂
*Germany greets his old friend*
Japan:Who are you again?
As Japanese, this is something we learn in compulsory education in Japan. We also learn about the Nazis and that Japan was an ally of Germany. The people in the video probably did not take the lessons seriously.
I thought the same! I mean Japan is Japan because of this friendship there’s even words from each language in the other between these two countries
What are jews????
@@luluwachedjari3299I am german and there are no words even.
What is smoked and cured? @@jeffstone9927

"Your honor, i never met this man in my entire life."
That old man who says it's the lack of education to blame seemed so wise and patient and happy. Wish I had a father like him
He was smiling the whole time cause he knew
we need men who are loving enough to want their children to be happy and strong, and serious enough to tell them about the bad things we have done in the past so children don't make the same mistakes again.
too many people don't manage to be either.
The world needs more people with his attitude and way of approaching issues
he was just a solder, he did what comander sayied, that's why he smiled btw
/grandpa
The old man is right. We can’t ignore the terrible things our country has done, we have to address them, and make sure we always remember what happened so that we will never go down those dark paths again.
Japan can't catch that memo though, neither can Turkey
Too late, nazis are already back in business and there are even slightly worse people in the top of society's pyramid
America 🌚
Something Americans need to learn as well. Conservatives have launched an all-out war against public education for simply teaching American history truthfully, and not enough people value education in this country.
he sure is
"looks like a bad symbol"
The Poland Conquerers 💀
Definitely a band. They even had matching outfits. They were really cooking with their later albums.
