Japanese Cleanliness Matches Islam
By: H. Dudung Badrun, SH, MH. (Advocate & Journalist)
Watching videos of healthy and clean living in Japan is a lifelong belief that becomes character, and is then reflected in behavior.
Unlike the people of Konoha, who teach their religion, “annadhofatu minal iman” (cleanliness is part of faith).
However, dirty behavior and littering are allowed. Perhaps the most important thing is religious stories, because religion is beautiful and enjoyable to tell.
If it’s religious stories like a shaman reciting a mantra, it’s sufficient and rewarding. Behavior is another matter, it’s up to you.
People in school call it “anomaly,” Penghamba Luk-i SAE calls it “wong reang,” or “pujare reang.”
Therefore, the real-life behavior of Japanese people is a reference for most millennials and Gen Z, who are more agnostic than religious.**
