Hybridization in Ninja Lore๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
In the films of Ninja lore with the voice of East and West, hybridization occurs and enriches the narratives; the postmodern dance of Butoh demonstrates this hybridization.๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
This really becomes a problem when a reader of one culture reads the text from a writer from another culture and tries to understand the multiplicity of voices.
How does our own cultural upbringing silence the cultural voices of the text? ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
Often we fail to even see the complex cultural signs in the text.๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น

Communication occurs outside our own web of meaning within the interaction of dialogue. ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
For Mikhail Bakhtin, this interaction becomes a sort of mixing.๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น

How much of our own voice controls or drowns out the voices of the text?๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น

Cultural Patterns of Japan๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
To understand world literature, one has to read everything as a text, including films, television, and commercials.
One must jump into the pool of text and finally start to notice cultural patterns once invisible.
However, stereotypes can blind one of the simplistic beauty of the cultural sign.๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น

Ksitigharbha: Jizo, Protector of the Doomed ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
Those characters in ninja films who are doomed to live in hell have a way out; Jizo, Japanese Saint for Children, promises to help even those lost.

Since we must free all demons from their evil and from hell, we are attracted to the goals of freedom, justice, and peace, especially for the souls of lost children.
Our goal is not to eradicate demons but to liberate them.
Jizo, our dear friend, known as Kishitigarbha, the Bodhisattva of children, helps all lost souls or hungry ghosts. ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น

Shoki: The Demon Slayers๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
Our other friend is Shoki, the Demon Slayer. On the fifth day of the fifth month, on what was once Boyโs Day but which is now called Childrenโs Day, he also protects our children from evil spirits. ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
Though he died many hundreds of years ago in China after being denied an official position because of his hideous face, he earned respect after his death because of his inner beauty as he began to fight against injustice and against the demons of the night. ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
He became an eternal spirit who lives in the heart of Asians who want justice including those in Japan.
In death, he became eternal as the Demon Slayer. Vampires beware the power of his sword. ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
The masses cry out, โSomeone needs to lead us home toward the promise land and out of this hell.โ
We shall overcome, for we are the greatest demon hunters ever and this is our manifesto of liberation.๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
