About this document
Cultural Symbolism in Your Name by Rupelma Patnugot is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) The film Your Name is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, with symbols and plot points drawing from Shinto traditions, Japanese history with natural disasters, and naming conventions. 2) Scenes like Mitsuha chewing rice that later ferments into sake draw from the Japanese Shinto tradition of Kuchikamizake and aim to forge connections between past and present. 3) The meteor destroying Itomori town echoes the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, reflecting how natural disasters are ingrained in Japan
