ShiniGami


Shinigami (死神) it means "death god". is the Japanese name for personifications of death, in particular the Grim Reaper, which was imported to Japan from Europe during the Meiji period. maybe we find the similarity of shinigami and Grim reaper that was quickly adopted by the Japanese, and early on featured in such works as a rakugo play called Shinigami and in Shunsen Takehara's Ehon Hyaku Monogatari (One-hundred Story Picture-Book) The term shinigami may also be used more loosely to refer to any death deity. It seems to be a recent term, however, as it belongs to no specific Shinto deity and is rarely used in folklore. we can find many difference term about shinigami in many anime and manga in japan. such as naruto, bleach, death note, hellsing, gundam, and many more. lately this shinigami became very popular in japan. many folklore, anime, and manga are using shinigami as their main character.
i cant find the image how is truly shinigami are. maybe these picture from many terms of shinigami can help you understand how is shinigami looks like..

After I initially commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and
now whenever a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the
exact same comment. There has to be an easy method you can remove me from that service?

Thanks!
