Another interest point, is that while the Greeks believed the River Styx separated earth from the underworld, Japanese believe they cross the River Sanzu and are even buried with 6 coins to pay the ferryman. Strange that 2 such different cultures should have such similar beliefs. --[[User:JessicaT|KotomiT]]<sup>[[User talk:JessicaT|''nandeyanen?'']]</sup> 06:40, 21 February 2009 (EST)

:Thanks for this - I know nothing about Chinese or Japanese thought in these areas so your angle on it is much appreciated.. I will certainly read up on Diyu when I have a moment!--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 13:02, 21 February 2009 (EST)
