Maybe it’s more like they don’t have a long history of going against their government?
This is correct. You run from China, fight amongst yourselves, get invaded by the British who shove their culture and modernity up your ass, then later get Hilter as an ally only to be blown up by America's Atom Bomb. Needless to say, this has made the Japanese submissive to many tyrannical governments over time. They've always had to just live with their invaders, even their language reflect this.
So it’s saying there’s no conflict bc they made a stone statue for the dead babies soul?
Some of these religious traits carry over to their normal life. Japanese culture is very ritualistic. The Jizo statues are a ritual that help them channel their emotions when they have an abortion (mind you they only allow abortion for physical or medical reasons).
It may seem silly to us, but then again, one of the amazing things about Jesus Christ is that all we need to do is go to him. It tends to make things easier, imo.
And you would think that after two atomic bombs being dropped on them, Japanese people would lead the world in skepticism over what their government tells them they should do. Alas, this is not the case and the percentage of vaccinated people here is tremendous.
