Sanzu River
The Sanzu River is a mythological river in Japanese Buddhism, similar to the Styx in Greek mythology. Souls of the deceased must cross the river to reach the afterlife, and the path they take depends on their actions in life. A toll of six mon is believed to be required for crossing, which is reflected in Japanese funeral customs.
日本語:
三途の川は日本の仏教における神話上の川であり、ギリシャ神話のステュクス川に似ています。死者の魂は来世に行くために川を渡らなければならず、その道のりは生前の行いによって決まります。渡るには6文の通行料が必要とされ、これは日本の葬儀の習慣に反映されています。
