>>49948564>do nippon small temples have priests that take care of them 24/7 You're probably thinking about Shinto shrines with that opening image, but no. The smallest shrines I saw were smaller than a post box. The ones large enough to be more of a proper building are sometimes just maintained by the local community and there's maybe a single priest taking care of rituals for a dozen of these. The ones that are big enough to have a shrine office have someone there during normal working hours, if even that.I don't think the small Buddhist artefacts you can stumble upon, sometimes with donation boxes, count as temples, but otherwise kinda the same thing for Buddhist temples. Smaller ones have maybe 1-2 people holding the office.>what is the general purpose of them anywayShrines are sacred places where worshippers can interact with kami. As shrines vary vastly in size and kind of "domain", this can be anything from the kami of your house or yard to an immensively popular deity of worldly success like Inari Ookami. You make them offerings and in turn you can make wishes to them. Manned shrines also sell various talismans and objects for in-home worship.Temples are places where people pray to various beings in the Buddhist canon, often for the sake of their ancestors. They also generally speaking take care of funerals in Japan. These too sell talismans and items needed for worship at home. Big temples are also sometimes monasteries, where they train the monks. >are giant tits a tradition or a recent addition?Only time I saw tits in a shrine was on a statue of a kappa. There is apparently a Buddhist temple in Kyoto that had a collab with Touhou and it featured some rather erotic art of Nue. I have a vague memory of seeing a picture on the net of an ema prayer plate featuring a lactating woman. Some depictions of the cintamani, wish-fullfilling jewels, also kind of look like breasts. Fun fact, the kitsune-shrine maiden association comes from Dakiniten, who is a Japanized version of the Dakini, rolled into a single entity. The Dakini were in old legend terrifying flesh-eating female demons who especially hungered for the magical "human yellow". They were tamed by the deity Mahakala (Daikoku in Japan). The Dakinis agreed to only eat the "human yellow", a kind of life essence that turns into sperm, of humans who have less than six months to live.Over time the depiction of the Dakinis shifted, as their legends made their way through China to Japan. They became associated with local legends of shape-shifting fox women. Their image became more ambiguos, sometimes bieng harmful, sometimes helpful, sometimes even divine. Dakiniten, the "king of dakinis", queen of foxes, was peak of this divinization of the dakini. This is where Shinto get's it's prominent fox symbolism and the idea that they are messengers for the gods. At some point Dakiniten was so favored she was worshipped at Ise Jingu, the holiest shrine in Japan. Before the modern shrine maidens, when miko still meant some kind of a shaman, Dakiniten had young female attendants called the kora. The "ko" comes from the kanji for fox, and they were regarded as incarnations of the dakini.So while huge tits are not perhaps traditional, the masculine urge to lust after a kitsune shrine maiden with a taste for the end product of this "human yellow" is extremely traditional.

>>49950097Kitsune lore gets pretty interesting with all the weird intermingling of Buddhist ideas and how the range of perception of them was between literally godly and scummy tricker cum vampires. The Japanese don't have so much of a good/evil split and all sorts of beings have all sorts of sides, but the perception of the kitsune seems exceptionally all over the place even by their standards. It's also kinda funny how fragments of what the perception of dakinis evolved elsewhere popped up in Japan. In the Himalayas the dakinis became these spirit guide entities, and while I'm not a specialist of Tibetan Buddhism, as far as I've understood it's some kind of a sexual thing. The Japanese didn't tend to mix their sex and spirituality quite like this, but there is at least one really prominent historical deviation from this. The enormously influential Fujiwara clan which introduced worship of Dakiniten to the imperial court credited their fortune to the fact that one of their ancestors was "initiated" by a kitsune.
