In-Character Information
FULL NAME: Itto Yuu
WHAT IS YOUR AGE?: 31
WHY ARE YOU APPLYING TO WORK AT THE MONASTERY?: After all this time being out of school and getting older I want to do something to do in my free time, and thought I have little knowledge of the religion, I want to learn and do something with my life besides what the others are doing. With this free soul and the Kami around us, I feel a drawing to this religion and have this yearning to learn it and over time I did learn it, I learned many things about it and around us, about the spiritual being around us and the way they speak to us, with this knowledge I want to explore it more and learn even more.
TELL ME WHAT HISTOY AND INFORMATION YOU KNOW ABOUT SHINSEI SEINARU MONSATERY: The religion was formed in the 8th century and worships ancestors, nature spirits and the belief of sacred power in both living and non living things. It was the main religion until 1945 but people turned away from it to focus on the events around them. It is classified by scholars as the indigenous religion and as a nature religion. The "sacred power" they worship is called a Kami and it is a spiritual being of nature.
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF: I was born in Japan but have traveled to China and France, staying there for a few years of my younger time in school learning the languages and the culture of both Chinese and French. Over my time in China I made friends and even close enough friends I call family. During my time in China my dad found a book about monastery, during that time I was interested in spirits and what other people called mythical creatures, so my dad bought the book and that is kind of is where my knowledge of the religion started, me being my kid self, I lost the book and the religion got lost in the back of my mind and by the time I was 9 it was time for me to leave. I came back to Japan for my high school. At the age of 21 I went to France on a few year vacation with my family, my mom and dad, I grew up with no siblings besides the friends I met in China. My mother often got sick, though it wasn't a bad illness it caused my family to stay extra time in the places we traveled to, even though my mother was sickly she still liked to travel which is why we still traveled even when she wasn't in the best shape. When I came back to Japan, many years later, my dad, being the geek about the different religions of Japan, he found me another book about the religion and that brought back my knowledge of the religion and after reading and finding a few books about it, it deepened my yearning for the religion.
