Brainstorming - Nihonjinron

I'm thinking about Japan. Just letting the thoughts drift into my mind and float on the surface of my thoughts, letting them come together and apart again. The Anthropology paper is very vague now and still far away.

I'm thinking about 5 yen coins and fortunes that come out of drawers.
About the horrors of giving gifts in 4s and 7s.

About syncretism.
About Shinto, Buddhism, ancestor worship, and Santa Claus.
