The only one in the world? Japan eats raw eggs. Why are raw eggs safe in Japan? Egg rice is a soul food in Japan.
Japan seems to be the only country in the world that eats raw eggs. Japan is known as a country where tap water is drinkable, but you might think it's a similar story, but it's not. In Japan, tap water is drinkable because it is soft and sanitary water is thoroughly controlled, and eggs are only born from chickens, so there is no difference in countries around the world.
Even if you explain it as a food culture, eggs are probably eaten all over the world, so why did Japan come to eat eggs raw? You might think it's a matter of Japanese tastes, but foreigners say that sukiyaki is delicious, and even simple rice with egg is delicious. Could it be that only Japanese people noticed the taste of raw eggs?
If you ask foreigners, they will tell you that raw eggs are dangerous. Then, I wondered why Japanese eggs were so safe, and when I looked into it, I found out that Salmonella bacteria is contained in the parent hens' feces and urine and seems to penetrate through the egg shells. Alternatively, if the parent chicken is infected with Salmonella, eggs infected with Salmonella will be born. Current Japanese poultry farms take thorough measures to prevent Salmonella, which is why they can even be eaten as raw eggs.
Then, when did Japan start eating raw eggs? When I researched it, I found that before the Edo period, food derived from animals was avoided due to the influence of Buddhism, and there seems to be a mention of raw eggs in the Edo period. Later, there was a mention of tamago kakigohan (egg-dried rice) in the Meiji period, and it is said that Ogai Mori also liked eating it.
When I researched Salmonella, I discovered that it was named after Daniel Salmon, a bacteriologist who discovered the type strain of the Salmonella genus, Hog cholera, in the United States in 1885. It became. In the Edo period, there would have been no recognition of Salmonella.
In summary, Japanese people did not have any biological knowledge about Salmonella, but they did know that if parent chickens were kept in an unsanitary environment, the baby eggs would have fatal problems if eaten by humans. On the other hand, they knew that if they thoroughly managed and cleaned the chickens, this problem would not occur.
South Korea, which tries to equate the Rising Sun flag with Hakenkreuz, is completely unaware of its history and meaning.
Japan's national anthem, ``Kimigayo,'' is based on an unknown tanka that was published in the Kokin Wakashu of the Heian period. It's a song whose author is unknown. In the Kokin Wakashu, it says, ``My lord will ripple through a thousand and eight thousand generations until he becomes a rock of stone and becomes a child of moss.'' Who this ``my lord'' refers to is a hot topic, but the original meaning of this poem is ``You... It means "May you live a long and healthy life forever."
This song has been sung during birthdays, weddings, and celebrations of life milestones throughout Japan's long history. After the Meiji Restoration, it was put to music and performed as a song wishing for the long life of the Emperor. In other words, this era was the song of the Meiji Restoration. After that, Japan entered the war, and some forces denounce this as a symbol of militarism, but it only describes Japan for a short period of time in its long history.
A similar story can be said about the Rising Sun flag. There are various theories about the design of the Rising Sun flag, but one theory is that it is a legend that Amaterasu Omikami, the sun god, came out of a rock and the sun returned to this world. The legend of Iwato dates back to the time of the first Emperor Jinmu. In this way, the rising sun pattern has been used for various celebrations since ancient times in Japan, and when Japan entered World War II, it was adopted as the flag of the Japanese military. In other words, it is merely an explanation of Japan for a short period of time.
Considering this timeline, the Hakenkreuz was first the party flag of the Nazi Party, which then became the national flag. The reason why the swastika was adopted as the flag of the Nazi Party is that the swastika, which was painted on the ruins of Troy, was thought to be a symbol of the Aryan race and was adopted.
In other words, the national symbol associated with the idea of a chosen people coincided with the thinking of the Nazi Party, which advocated the principle of Germanic first, and became a symbol of the genocide of the Jews. In other words, this flag was adopted based on the consistent ideology of the chosen people.
Please tell Professor Seo Kyung-deok, who has never studied history, a little bit.
Hideki Tojo's grave is located in Migane, Aichi Prefecture - China and South Korea's opposition to visiting Yasukuni Shrine is cultural interference born of ignorance.
Hideki Tojo rests in Migane, Aichi Prefecture
What are China and South Korea demanding
All graves are in separate locations
Shrines are not graves
I think Yasukuni Shrine is a graveyard
South Korea, a country that digs up graves
Yasukuni Shrine throughout Japan
The photo I posted is of the Mausoleum of the Seven Martyrs of Japan, located on Mt. Mt. Mt. Mt. in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture. It enshrines seven soldiers and politicians who were executed by the Tokyo Tribunal.
Those enshrined are Hideki Tojo, Kenji Doihara, Seishiro Itagaki, Hyotaro Kimura, Iwane Matsui, Akira Muto, and Hiroki Hirota. The remains of these seven people are said to be buried under this mausoleum. In other words, the graves of Hideki Tojo and others are located here.
So what exactly are China and South Korea saying? They say that the Prime Minister should not go to Yasukuni Shrine because war criminals are enshrined there. The German Chancellor is loudly shouting that he will visit Hitler's grave.
As mentioned above, the grave is in a different location. A shrine is a shrine. It is said that there are over 2,466,000 heroic spirits enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine, and each of their graves was probably erected by their local community or family members.
I wonder if the Japanese Prime Minister went to visit the Mausoleum of the Seven Martyrs of Japan in Aichi Prefecture.
A shrine only has a divine seat, which is said to be the place where the god appears and sits. A shrine is not a grave. It is essentially impossible to separate the divine throne. If there is a division, it is a branch shrine.
China and South Korea demand that the Yasukuni Shrine be separated for war criminals, but this is probably also the idea of graves. The remains of the heroes are not buried anywhere in Yasukuni Shrine. They mistakenly think it's some sort of mass grave.
In South Korea, the grave of a Korean War hero buried in South Korea's national cemetery was recently dug up because he had served in the former Japanese army. From Japan's perspective, it is a country with a culture that is extremely abnormal. In the first place, shrines are not graves, and that is also the extent of our understanding of graves.
In conclusion, if Yasukuni Shrine is enshrined in two parts, there will be two Yasukuni Shrines, and if it is enshrined in ten parts, there will only be ten Yasukuni Shrines. It might be a good idea to have Yasukuni Shrines all over Japan. It may be a talisman to keep people who flirt with you away from Japan.
Emperor Kanmu's mother was Takano Shinkasa, a descendant of the King of Baekje - Don't forget that the imperial family is inherited in the male line.
The mother of Emperor Kanmu during the Heian period was a person named Takano Shingasa, who was an immigrant from Baekje. The relationship between Japan and Baekje is often unknown, but it can be speculated that it goes back a long way. In ``Gishiwajinden,'' it is written that Wa (Japan) was in contact with Inuya Korea, which means that Japanese people lived in what is now the Japanese archipelago and the southern tip of the Korean peninsula.
Before that, it was a Japanese-style tumulus. Keyhole-shaped tombs have been discovered in the Baekje region of the Korean Peninsula. If we trace the spread of polished stone tools excavated from the Iwajuku Ruins in Japan, we can see evidence of their spread to the Korean Peninsula in chronological order. Baekje was destroyed in the Battle of Baekchonggang in 663 and retreated from the Korean Peninsula. At that time, many Baekje people fled to Japan.
The family was founded by Zenko, the son of King Uija, the last king of Baekje, and was given the surname of Baekje King as a Japanese clan. It is said that her descendant was the mother of Emperor Kanmu. My memory is that a woman from the imperial family married the King of Baekje when Baekje was on the Korean peninsula, but I tried looking for it but couldn't find it. The custom of taking a commoner as a wife dates back to the post-war period, and if until then you could not become the empress of the emperor without some sort of blood relation, then it means that you had a relative relationship before then.
There have been various debates about this theory, but it is not incorrect as it is mentioned on the birthday of His Majesty the current Retired Emperor that Emperor Kanmu's birth mother was a descendant of King Muryeong of Baekje. right. I actually heard these birthday messages, but I honestly remember being surprised at what His Majesty the Emeritus said.
Based on this, many people in Korea say that the Emperor is a descendant of Koreans, but this is only because the Emperor was a descendant of the King of Baekje during that generation, and the imperial family is inherited through the male line in the first place. , I can't trace my genealogy back to my mother. Moreover, since Baekje was destroyed on the Korean Peninsula, Japan was in a position to protect it. And since they chose to assimilate with the Japanese, they are not Koreans.
Japan is a maritime nation that knows everything about the sea - there is nothing we can learn from China and South Korea.
The reason foreigners who have eaten sushi in Japan say that Japanese sushi is different is not just the skill of the sushi chefs or the freshness of the fish. Japan's fishing industry is not just about collecting fish. Depending on the characteristics of the fish, the fish are caught during the season when they are at their fattest or when they are rich in nutrients before spawning.
Yellowtail is caught in various places in Japan, but it is said that the yellowtail caught in the area of Himi in Toyama Prefecture is the highest in Japan, and the reason for this is that melted snow from the Tateyama Mountain Range covers most of the areas where humans live. Because the yellowtail is nurtured in the mineral-rich seawater that flows into Himi Bay without passing through the water, it becomes a delicious yellowtail that is incomparable to any other. Japan's fishing industry has been carried out based on careful consideration of the fishing grounds, even the river water that flows from the mountains, and the knowledge of the temperature and temperature that changes depending on the seasonal flow of ocean currents.
Looking at the reactions of China and South Korea regarding the Fukushima treated water issue, it appears that although both countries have nuclear power plants, they do not have the engineers to develop the fundamentals. They probably purchased equipment from overseas, installed it, learned how to operate it, and then started generating electricity. Even if we say that we are building a nuclear power plant in our own country, we are not talking about the basic parts, we are doing things like minor changes in a car, but we are not talking about the actual radioactive materials, what is contained in the cooling water, etc. doesn't seem to know.
People are crying out that their country's fishing industry will suffer catastrophic damage, but Japan is one of the leading environmental conservation countries among developed countries and knows everything about fish ecology, ocean currents, and seasonal changes. It is safe to say that there is nothing to learn from China and South Korea. Then, the release into the ocean was started in collaboration with an international organization.
For the next 30 years, China and South Korea will live in fear of radioactivity, but this is not a problem that Japan perceives. Japan can only properly overcome the unprecedented nuclear power plant accident, release treated water, and continue its life as a maritime nation that catches delicious fish as before.
