Amahara is not Japan. In fact, it is very appropriately categorised as a form of NotJapan. The following are a few reasons why Amahara is similar to but not Japan.
- Amahara does not have an Emperor - it has an Apostle. It was therefore not and never will be an empire in the sense of having an imperial crown or imperial ruler and indeed has no imperial clan or household. In past ages, the Apostles did come from a single, unbroken matriarchal household, which might be considered an analogue.
- Amahara Shinto is concerned with proselytising and spreading Shinto well beyond the borders of the home islands.
- Amahara Shinto was never conflated with Buddhism as it was in Japan and is considered indigenous to Amahara without being transmitted from the Middle Kingdom (NotChina).
- Amahara (and the world it's in) is way less sexist than the real world. Female ninjas and samurai are normal and the all-female priestesses of Shinto are considered the highest ranked members of society.
