if you understand japanese culture and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster,you must understand Kotodama.

Why is Fukushima Daiichi nuclear station so weak to Tsunamai ?
Why is not Fukushima Daiichi nuclear station ready for Tsunamai ?
Why do not Tokyo Denryoku people think about Tsunami ?


there are so many reasons.
One of the reasons is Kotodama.


Koto means word. Dama means sprits.


Japanese belief that mystical powers dwell in words.


Do you know the word Oracle?


Kotodama is very similar to Oracle.


For example.
Unlucky number in Japanese culture is 4(Four).
The sound of 4 "shi" in japanese is equal to the sound of death "shi".
So japanese think 4 is Unlucky number.


Japanese people think "bad things happened because you say unlucky things and think unlucky thing"
The man who say and think risk and bad thing is an unwelcome person


For example.
A man Suzuki said "Huge earthquake will happen. and Huge Tsunami break Fukushima Daiichi nuclear station".
Japanese people think he said and thought a unlucky thing.

If a unlucky thing come true,Japanese people think "trouble happened because he said and thought a unlucky thing.He is wrong.".


So Japanese people don't say and think unlucky things.
And If a unlucky thing come true, Japanese people say "No bady thinks "(Souteigai).
