Zen & Popular Culture?

[Anonymous No.]

Are there any representations of Zen in Japanese Pop culture these days? I know Hatsune Miku did a recording of the Heart Sutra but I am wondering whether there are other such mediums such as anime's or mangas.

Yes, Zen is an integral part of classical Japanese culture from what I understand; I would like to know how the current pop culture of Japan uses Zen imagery or koans in relation to mangas, music, anime's, etc.

> anime's or mangas.

Baka gaijin.

Anyway, I don't see how the concept is used any more than any other part of Buddhism? Play UFO, maybe. Serious Buddhist overtones there.

Eh, Yukari and Ran have some Zen-related spellcards too.

Fuck off now

Thank you, but why are you rude in dealing with people who have legitimate questions regarding Japanese "pop culture" and it's relation to classical culture

How so? The sticky post at the top states that this is the channel for discussion relating to Japanese culture including niche culture(Zen is a niche Japanese interest). My question seeks to find out what place this niche culture has in the Japanese zeitgeist currently

Stop shitting on the guy's thread just because he said anime/manga, or you didn't like him. If you have nothing decent to say, don't reply and hide the thread. It will also die faster that way.

What if I made a thread about cocksucking, dicklord?

Stop intentionally getting things wrong. It doesn't make you a witty troll.

Thank you. I am not well versed in the subtle nuances that are inherent in what is referred to as "j-pop" culture

Is not Zen directly related to Japanese culture?

This is otaku culture, dicklord. I don't care if you're a pseudonymous troll bragging about this epic win in IRC, even. I'm drunk so I win by default.

Yes, but doesn't the sticky at the top state that niche topics are fair game? If I posted this thread in the wrong channel please direct me to a better one where I can get a scholarly answer to my question.

I don't often frequent the Reddit because it doesn't have specialized knowledge in certain areas which interest me. I don't see how my typing is relevant to this thread

What's Robert's current Tumblr? I always enjoy his write-ups after these threads.

No need to call people names, I'm sure it was a simple misunderstanding on both parts. I can't say whether I'm entirely sure what an "okatu" is, and whether or not my threads belong in this channel.
