Koreans are just walking into temples all over Japan and stealing ancient treasures.

So what are they doing about it?

better get used to it because the chinese will be next stealing from the japs

fuck japan

A lot more security cameras and also things that used to be on open display have been hidden. The police have made some arrests. But as I said it's an ongoing problem.

Very sad because religious places did not used to have to lock up with heavy security -- people took it as a basic rule of morality that you simply do NOT steal from treasures and shrines.

Theres a little more to it than that. The japanese occupied the korean territories and ransacked the land. Stealing, raping and pillaging. They sent a lot of religious items back to japan.

They are already buying up good farmland like crazy in some parts of the countryside. Smart. Japan is not expected to experience water shortages but much of China is.

But at least the Chinese buy it legally.

Well there is a lot of art in British museums from the colonial era, same deal. U.S. too. Should the UK start giving back all the things it stole from Asia and Africa in the British Empire?

Korea and Japan already dealt with this on a legal level in 1965. A treaty was signed. Money was paid. Some war loot was returned. That's not the same as some random tourist walking into a temple and stealing a gold statute of the Buddha.

I read that leaders of Tibetan temples\monestatries duplicate relics documents and other treasures. Hiding the real stuff. Damn koreans

After what Japan did to Korea...

the japanese civilized and modernized Korea and they get payback like this?
