In Japan, the lines and signs that indicate places you can and cannot enter are quite vague. These Kekkai, or boundaries, can take the form of a length of bamboo, for example, lying on its side at an entrance. To most foreign tourists, it is probably just a piece of bamboo.

Bachi is considered as "divine punishment" or "supernatural retribution" that results from one's bad actions. Depending on the situation, the Japanese display a sense of restraint in their behavior for a fear of Bachi. The most well-known example of this is how Japanese spectators will pick up their garbage and take it home with them after a soccer match. Take a deep yet comic look at the Japanese perception of religion and how it influences their actions and thoughts in everyday life.
