Are people in japan superstitious?

there are superstitious people in every country.|||usually depends on their religion. i know i;m not supposed to give orchids since that;s traditionally used in funerals or something.and like in chinese, shi (4) means death.|||You find people like that everywhere, but although I rent a parking spot that should be number 4, it is labeled number 5. They throw some salt around there doors when coming home from a funeral. They believe the spirits of their ancestors come home every year, and have ceremonies to celebrate the reunion. They regularly put out rice and water in little shrines in their houses to feed the spirits of their dead ancestors.So, yeah, I would say a bit superstitious.|||Like any country Japan has its own superstitions. Things like the number 4 and 9 being unlucky, never cut your nails at night, don`t whistle at night and never open an umbrella inside as it brings bad luck.|||Yes, just like everywhere else in the world. But believe in different things like Karma for instance. Comes around goes around is one of their common strong beliefs.Here the another example; Before the world war 2, many Japanese believed the emperor of Japan was a descendant of God. Whereas, Christians believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. Also, Number 13 and 666 don’t mean anything to them at all. Different culture different believe.|||Yes they have lots of superstitions there. My favorite is when they see an outsider wearing a hat it symbolizes the death of a baby. So anyone whenever they see this the youngest woman nearby will start to cry out and you will get chased down the streets until they get a hold of the hat to burn it. If you do have this happen just give up the hat because if it is still on your head when they set it on fire it is not even considered a crime.
