The most miserable misunderstanding in Japanese people is "Japanoreligion is the most generous, the sincerest and the most kind-hearted in the world".
No. In fact, majority of Japanese people are so narrow minded, and eager to reject and condemnate the Christianity, Muslim and Jewish belief.
It started in the beginning of Tokugawa tyranny on about mid 17th century. To make Tokugawa Shogunate sustainable with limited trade with rest of the world without bothered by the diplomatic matter, Shogunate dynasty issued so many stories of "anti-Christian guidebook" called Haiya-sho.
It said that the Catholic priest is the evil magician who perform all kinds of magic to get a person alive and act like Ninja. The Ninja myth was enforced by Rev. Jihyoe Kintsuba, who once was trained as Ninja in his childhood became a Jesuit priest later on.

The trinity concept has been so favorable in Japanese politics, hence those three part had never functioned as "one body".
During Tokugawa tyranny, three clans of Tokugawa had been the whirlpool of political strife for three centuries. Therefore the direct samurai, soldiers of Tokugawa and the suburb landlords and their vessels and their local samurais had been trying to find the negotiation point somewhere around.
Meiji government had brought in the Japanese interpreted trinity to the main teaching to "the official Imperial Shintoism".
According to the Meiji government, the Emperor of Japan is the head of family called "NIPPON" and their governors, nobles and bureaucrats beneath the Emperor, and all the common people beneath the rulers should sacrifice their life as the "babies(SEKISHI)" of the Emperor.
Meiji Imperialists thought this cultic theory will form the reformed Shintoism by teaching hence they thought the common people are all fool enough to be cheated.
Actually, their theory hadn't do anything good as the religious force, for the reformed Shintoism hadn't had any traditional base underneath.
Except few people in Osaka and Kyoto area, most of common people in Japan didn't know "what is the Emperor" or "where the Emperor appeared from".
There had been local polytheism religion which is the mixed shamanistic religion of Shinto and Buddhism goddesses. And there was no god called "Emperor" in local belief or mountain pilgrimage belief.
After Meiji government enforced Shrines, temples and other worship places to distinguish and divide Shinto goddesses and local Buddhas and arsats during Buddhism persecution. Many Buddhism statues were sold, broken and thrown away.
Even the famous five-stair pagoda in Kofukuji temple in Nara was once on auction sale in less than 8000 Euro in the modern monetary base.
For Japanoreligion leaders, the trinity is the most convenient distorted term to sum up the whole nation "in oneness".
They are so eager to hide the bits and bites Japanoreligous theory is lone "galapagos" theory which is mean, unkind and isolated.
Most of foreigners never mention on the "closed Japanese mind",hence Japanese people basically don't talk about their true feeling to others.
Many foreigners guess "maybe something traditional in the Japanoreligion which foreigners cannot understand". Just like non-Jewish cannot exactly understand the Jewish belief.
Actually, except fantastic cultic people, the majority of Japanese people don't know how to explain why their spirits are so empty after all.
I personally told to quite believing in Christianity until I really awake in my faith. People I've met said "there will be someone wise enough to teach you the right way". But, I've never ever met anyone who is clever and faithful enough to explain "what to believe in Japanoreligion?".
Their theories are mainly why non-Japanoreligion is bad and evil. And their explanatory goes into abstract fantastic words which is ten times fancier than the RPG game story.
Hence their theories are on the sand in the straw house, Christians have been their good target to persecute on for generations.
Please pray for us.
