Hi /jp/, I was wondering for research if you could give me information on Japan's views of Shinigami or Gods of Death, and no not the ones referenced in Bleach or Deathnote or other references, though that will be a part of subject to look into (because of the different forms they takes concerning the authors). I'm referring to Japan itself and their ideas about what exactly these Gods of Death mean to them and their culture. Thanks alot.

you're implying there is only one type of death gods

which isn't true at all in most asian cultures

also google will give you way more than /jp/ ever will

True Anonymous, then let me rephrase the.question. Would anyone have any detailed information on the shinigami and the world's opinion on them?

And wouldn't google mainly bring up DN and Bleach sites?

My report is on the japanese spirits called "shinigami", or Death Gods. The shinigami are spirits who wear black robes and like to fight with swords. Their swords have 3 power levels: regular, "shikai", and "bankai". The kanji for "bankai” looks like a swastika, but the shinigami are not racist. Some shinigami are black.
