- “Sunshine Through the Rain”
I watched the first video series called “Sunshine Through the Rain.” I would say that these videos were very interesting. It started out with a little boy. He was outside when it was raining. While it was raining he walked to the woods. When he arrived to the woods he saw something that he was not supposed to see. I believe that he saw a group of people walking through the woods. I believe that the group of people that he saw was a group of deities. They were just walking through the woods but they were very silent. They did not say anything just walked. The deities looked at the little boy and he ran.
He arrived back into the house and his mother asked did he see something that he was not supposed to see. He replied to her and she told him that a fox was looking for him. His mom cannot let him back in the house until either he kills himself with the knife or he goes to the fox and asks for forgiveness. I believe that this has a lot to do with the way that the Shinto interacts with their deities. I do not think that the little boy was supposed to look at the gods without worshipping them. I also believe that the other problem was that he disobeyed his mom. She told him not to go anywhere and he did anyway. He just stared at them in the woods and did not worship them or anything. The Shinto are very adamant about human interactions with the other. Lying is one of the most important sins and the little boy sinned. He has to either repent or he can lose his life. When a sin is committed they have serious consequences. These videos were a little hard to decipher but I think that I finally figured it out.
