| dc.description.abstract | Broadcast Transcript: Traditionally, Japan has had two major religions: Shinto and Buddhism with Buddhism supplying the Shinto practitioners with the comfort of an afterlife. Christianity might not have much of a presence here but Santa-san does. He is everywhere during the Christmas season: high-fiving shoppers, posing for pictures, performing magic tricks and otherwise spreading the Christmas spirit which is more about spending than spirituality. Santa-sans are trained at the Santa-san academy--no, really--which teaches them, among other skills, how to reassure children that those sophisticated security systems in most Japanese homes will NOT prevent Santa-san from getting in. Merry Kurisumas. That's Merry Christmas in Japanese. #ceas #hacker #japan | |
