The only people that would change for the better were the Christians, who understood principle. Stubborness to ritual and word is historically and factually known to those that practice Judaism, so no, it is not the Jews, in terms of religion, that took the silk road to China and Japan.

After having spent time with this tribes abroad and seeing several similarities to their ways and beliefs. I have now found the link and understand their customs and ways a lot clearer to that of the japanese shinto shrines. As for example the salt put at the entry of a japanese restaurant and that of the bathing of their new born which is of the same acustom to this tribes are of few to mention. - Giselle Tue, 06 May 2008 15:58:45 +0100 http://www.moshiach.com/features/tribes/japan.php#pc_292 while i too have seen similarities, many mentioned in the article, i have to ask, from experiences here, can some of these "jewish" traditions be actually influenced from past missionaries? and when ask about the Star of David seen on many government bldgs, I am always told by native JP they are not sure what it means. - みけねこ Sat, 01 Mar 2008 14:31:36 +0100 http://www.moshiach.com/features/tribes/japan.php#pc_266 Although there are some interesting points in Mr. Kubo's theory, I do not buy all of them. According to my own investigation, the sacrificial animals for Ontohsai festival include wild boars too. Is it possible for Jewish people to sacrifice swines for their festival? I believe not. Of course I know the story of Abraham and Isaac, and that it took place before the time of Moses, but if there is some kind of connection between Ontohsai and Jewish, I don't undestand why people of Suwa forgot the important law of avoiding unclean animal. If you say Ontohsai festival came from the pre-Moses tradition, how can you call that it's Jewish? And is there any tradition in Judaism to celebrate the event of Mt. Moriah? If not, why do people of Suwa make it a festival? - angelic feline Wed, 06 Feb 2008 09:06:39 +0100 http://www.moshiach.com/features/tribes/japan.php#pc_150 This would be quite amazing if it is indeed true. www.myspace.com/hkurland - Harve Wed, 26 Sep 2007 04:31:49 +0100 http://www.moshiach.com/features/tribes/japan.php#pc_137 I'm very impressed to read your book. - Seiko Oba Sun, 09 Sep 2007 20:37:23 +0100 http://www.moshiach.com/features/tribes/japan.php#pc_114 Interesante analisis. Algunas cosas parecen poco veridicas, pero igual algunas me estan sirviendo para colaborar en Wikipedia. SHALOM - Elias Enoc Fri, 10 Aug 2007 15:49:47 +0100 http://www.moshiach.com/features/tribes/japan.php#pc_50 I am very surprised with all these interesting theories of the Japanese customs by Mr Arimasa and I have some questions about the ten lost tribes in Japan. I like to watch documentaries about Japan, its history and traditions. When I saw something of Shinto religion I find its astonishing similarity with the caananite paganism. Do they have a common shamanistic origin in Ancient Asia then split in two totally different directions ? I know that Portuguese sailors and merchants established small colonies in southern Japan, and even today some Japanese have a Portuguese origin, in particular there's a genetic disease carried by portuguese seamen that is found in Japan. There was Jews among these Portuguese that arrived in Japan in XVI century? Do you have a record of that arrival ? And I want to know if some ethnic Japanese have converted to Judaism. Has Mr Arimasa already published a book ? - Sergio Mon, 18 Jun 2007 05:36:03 +0100
