The Taira no Masakado Story
Added 2019-06-05 15:08:17 +0000 UTCPeter and I visited the Taira no Masakado grave this evening. It was kind of scary because previous to starting Kanae had told me to be careful with this. It shook me a little. Sensitive topics are typically ignored in Japan. I was told a Japanese comedian who came here with a TV crew was kicked and beaten by locals. He left and was not employed again for 3 years! The GO channel is big enough that it could get picked up in the news — which is good but it can’t be for disrespectful reasons >_< I’ll return here to pray in my own way off camera but such streams are always going to be a challenge, and also I should shh away from them either. It’s important to take you with me live on such trips because you can feel the area better. There are a few more stories like this I have planned for summer.
Let’s hope we didn’t disrupt the harmony of the spirit and the neighborhood. Lighten up John (I’m good now) — and have a great day everyone 😁

Saw that yesterday 🤔 I wonder if we influenced other journalists? The timing seems more than a coincidence, no? Hehehe

2019-06-10 16:31:11 +0000 UTCInteresting story, I think you dealt with it sensitively and gave the respect it deserved. For what it’s worth I think you would have been fine to enter, you are telling the story and keeping the history alive and any god would be happy with that. I feel his anger is felt when disregarded or treated as make believe. Good work John and PVG
