Japan reaches GritCult in two forms that rarely touch. The Japan of Miyamoto Musashi and the Hagakure is a personal code of nerve and urgency; modern Japan is a demographic warning about where low birth rates lead. The 204 posts peak in 2018, with 51.

Views

The warrior Japan comes almost entirely from two sources. Musashi supplies a mantra GritCult says he chants in the gym: no fear, no surprise, no hesitation, no doubt ^[1]. The Hagakure supplies the reasoning. His favourite line from it is the one about plunging recklessly towards an irrational death, which he glosses in plain terms: “You're going to die anyway. Stop playing it safe” ^[2]. The samurai fixation on death is read as a spur to action rather than a morbid one, a “death-sense” that instils hurry while everyone else idles ^[3]. His most shared Japan post is about Musashi at the peak of his power walking away from fighting to become a painter, a calligrapher and a philosopher ^[4]: the warrior who outgrew war.

Modern Japan is the opposite case, a William Gibson novel come true: “Hyper tech. Hyper declining fertility” ^[5]. He began collecting the evidence in 2018 and kept at it for years. In 2020 he posted the village of Nagoro, where a woman made life sized dolls to cure her loneliness, and asked whether this is a dying country ^[6]; in 2021 he framed Japan's population crisis as a case study in the decline of a developed country and “Maybe a warning for the west” ^[7]. Japan interests him here less as a place than as a preview of a road the West is already on.

He refuses to merge the two Japans, and is impatient with people online who do. Only weebs who watch too much anime idealise Japan as “based”, he wrote in 2020, adding that its society is probably more atomised than the West's ^[8]. The romance is mostly reserved for dead swordsmen and old books. The living country gets more of a demographer's pity than a romantic's devotion, though he still holds up parts of it, such as its schools and its trains, as lessons for the West.

Recurring themes

• the Hagakure as a working code
• death awareness as a source of urgency
• Musashi as warrior and artist
• Japan as a demographic warning for the West
• scorn for the anime idealisation of Japan
