Apparently Christianity is about 1.5% of the population, which is almost 2 million people. In some areas you can see signs on sheds talking about Jesus or life after death, etc. A friend of mine knew a local older lady who had one on her shed and asked her if she put it there and said that it just appeared one morning. She wasn't Christian but thought a sign talking about god was kind of nice so she just left it up.
Guess if the local sect can't convince people to hang signs they're willing to do some guerrilla jesus-ing. This one says "Jesus is the son of god."
I always hated this sentiment. I don't think sons should automatically inherit their fathers' sins. Jesus seemed to be a mostly cool dude, albeit with his own human flaws (including the common blindness to his father's abusive nature) and it really doesn't seem fair to lump him in with his dad.
I expected even more Christians in Japan but there is a difference between Christians in Japan who adopt Christian messages into the Japanese language and a Westerner (I assume) going to Japan to get a tattoo. If I want a Christian message tattooed, I would want it in a language I understand or maybe one that is significant for Christian culture like Latin or Old Greek or maybe Hebrew. But why in Japanese?
