neg: Young Lives Young Lives is an international research project on childhood poverty that was established in 2000 and is coordinated by a team based at the University of Oxford 's Department of International Development ( Queen Elizabeth House ) , Great Britain .   Young Lives , by its declaration , is tracing the changing lives of 12,000 children in Ethiopia , India ( Andhra Pradesh ) , Peru and Vietnam over a 15-year period . This is the time frame set by the UN to assess progress towards the Millennium Development Goals . Through interviews , group work and case studies with the children , their parents , teachers , community representatives and others , the project is collecting information not only about their material and social circumstances , but also their perspectives on their lives and aspirations for the futures , set against the environmental and social realities of their communities .   Young Lives is following two groups of children in each country :  2,000 children who were born in 2001-02  1,000 children who were born in 1994-95 .   These groups provide insights into every phase of childhood . The younger children are being tracked from infancy to their mid-teens and the older children through into adulthood , when some will become parents themselves . When this is matched with information gathered about their parents , it is possible to reveal much about the inter generational transmission of poverty , how families on the margins move in and out of poverty , and the policies that can make a real difference to their lives .   The research concentrates on 4 countries : Ethiopia , India ( Andhra Pradesh ) , Peru and Vietnam , chosen because they reflect a wide range of cultural , political , geographical and social contexts . They face some of the common issues experienced by developing countries , such as high debt burden , post-conflict reconstruction and adverse environmental conditions such as drought and flood . By covering these countries , Young Lives aims to reveal patterns , commonalities and differences in four very different contexts where childhood - especially childhood poverty - is changing .   The project is core-funded by the UK Department for International Development ( DFID ) , with sub-studies funded by International Development Research Center ( IDRC ) ( in Ethiopia ) , UNICEF ( in India ) , Irish Aid ( in Vietnam ) and the Bernard van Leer Foundation ( in India and Peru ) .

neg: Ben Hecht Ben Hecht -LSB- ˈhɛkt -RSB- ( February 28 , 1894 -- April 18 , 1964 ) was an American screenwriter , director , producer , playwright , journalist and novelist . A journalist in his youth , he went on to write thirty-five books and some of the most entertaining screenplays and plays in America . He received screen credits , alone or in collaboration , for the stories or screenplays of some seventy films .   At the age of 16 , Hecht ran away to Chicago , where in his own words he `` haunted streets , whorehouses , police stations , courtrooms , theater stages , jails , saloons , slums , madhouses , fires , murders , riots , banquet halls , and bookshops '' . In the 1910s and early 1920s , Hecht became a noted journalist , foreign correspondent , and literary figure . In the 1920s , his co-authored , reporter-themed play , The Front Page , became a Broadway hit .   The Dictionary of Literary Biography - American Screenwriters calls him `` one of the most successful screenwriters in the history of motion pictures . '' Hecht received the first Academy Award for Original Screenplay , for Underworld ( 1927 ) . Many of the screenplays he worked on are now considered classics . He also provided story ideas for such films as Stagecoach ( 1939 ) . Film historian Richard Corliss called him `` the Hollywood screenwriter '' , someone who `` personified Hollywood itself . '' In 1940 , he wrote , produced , and directed , Angels Over Broadway , which was nominated for Best Screenplay . In total , six of his movie screenplays were nominated for Academy Awards , with two winning .   He became an active Zionist shortly before the Holocaust began in Germany , and wrote articles and plays about the plight of European Jews , such as , We Will Never Die in 1943 and A Flag is Born in 1946 . Of his seventy to ninety screenplays , he wrote many anonymously to avoid the British boycott of his work in the late 1940s and early 1950s . The boycott was a response to Hecht 's active support of paramilitary action against British forces in Palestine and sabotaging British property there ( see below ) , during which time a supply ship to Palestine was named the S. S. Ben Hecht .   According to his autobiography , he never spent more than eight weeks on a script . In 1983 , 19 years after his death , Ben Hecht was posthumously inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame .

neg: Adult animation Adult animation , adult cartoon , or mature animation is any type of animation work that is mainly targeted towards adults and sometimes also teenagers , acting as a contrast to most animated films and TV series being aimed at children . Works in this genre may be considered adult for any number of reasons . They may be noted for using risqué themes , graphic violence , profane language , sexuality , or dark humor . Works in this genre may explore philosophical , political , or social issues . Some productions are noted for sophisticated and/or experimental storytelling and animation techniques .   Before the enforcement of the Hays Code , some cartoon shorts contained humor that was aimed at adult audience members rather than children . Following the introduction of the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system , independent animation producers attempted to establish an alternative to mainstream animation . Initially , few animation studios in the United States attempted to produce animation for adult audiences , but later examples of animation produced for adults would gain mainstream attention and success .

neg: Otherness of childhood The otherness of childhood is a phrase being used to argue that there are substantial differences between the lived worlds of children and adults . These differences are suggested to emerge from complex outcomes of divergent states of physical , neurological , emotional , affective and experiential being between children 's and adults ' lives . This is of interest to children 's geographies , as children 's experiences and practices of , say , a city , and its spaces might be very different from those of adults , and very difficult to recreate through adult sensibilities ( this has obvious implications for research ) .   The approach suggests that adult ( researchers ) need to be cautious in their claims about understanding the world from a child 's perspective . It is not claimed that there are no connections between these two worlds , but rather that they can be at once very connected and close and very far apart . This is a common theme in some literature which considers childhood . Ideas of the otherness of childhood have connections with some children 's affinity with disordered spaces ( those not managed and tidied by adult society ) like waste ground in cities . They also have implications for trying to remember what it was like to be a child as a form of research and knowing childhood . This is , at best , a highly complex and multifaceted process which , again , can not be assumed to give easy access to children 's worlds . This question has raised some critical response within children 's geographies ( see Philo , 2003 ) .

neg: Child Identity Child Identity is not only a psychological structure , but also a complex subject of contemporary humanitarian science . Identity formation is a complex process that is never completed . When we research the problems of identity we want to answer questions ` Who we are ? ' , ` Do we choose our identity ? ' , ` Is identity given to us or do we create our own ? ' , etc. . In a world of change , children are faced with many questions and struggles as they sort out their multiple identities . Children begin to ask identity questions at an early age . Who am I ? Who is my family ? Where do I belong ? Why does my family celebrate some holidays and not others ? These are all standard questions children ask to determine how they fit into their world .   Erik Erikson ( 1902 -- 1994 ) became one of the earliest psychologists to take an explicit interest in problem of child identity . The child identity is a complex socio-cultural phenomenon , which includes a variety of representations of a child about themselves , about the world , about his place in this world . The Child Identity is a dynamic construct that is rapidly changing under the influence of the environment , education and family . In childhood , identity is a dependent phenomenon , there are a lot of the unconscious factors are affecting to behavior patterns , relationships child with world . Child Identity formed under influence of various factors and stereotypes .

neg: Film director A film director is a person who directs the making of a film .

neg: Child actor The term child actor or child actress is generally applied to a child acting on stage or in motion pictures or television , but also to an adult who began his or her acting career as a child ; to avoid confusion , the latter is also called a former child actor .

neg: B movie A B movie is a low-budget commercial movie , but one that is not an arthouse film . In its original usage , during the Golden Age of Hollywood , the term more precisely identified films intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature . Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s , the term B movie continues to be used in the broader sense it maintains today . In its post -- Golden Age usage , there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition : on the one hand , the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient ; on the other , many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity .   In either usage , most B movies represent a particular genre -- the Western was a Golden Age B movie staple , while low-budget science-fiction and horror films became more popular in the 1950s . Early B movies were often part of series in which the star repeatedly played the same character . Almost always shorter than the top-billed films they were paired with , many had running times of 70 minutes or less . The term connoted a general perception that B movies were inferior to the more handsomely budgeted headliners ; individual B films were often ignored by critics .   Latter-day B movies still sometimes inspire multiple sequels , but series are less common . As the average running time of top-of-the-line films increased , so did that of B pictures . In its current usage , the term has somewhat contradictory connotations : it may signal an opinion that a certain movie is ( a ) a genre film with minimal artistic ambitions or ( b ) a lively , energetic film uninhibited by the constraints imposed on more expensive projects and unburdened by the conventions of putatively `` serious '' independent film . The term is also now used loosely to refer to some higher-budgeted , mainstream films with exploitation-style content , usually in genres traditionally associated with the B movie .   From their beginnings to the present day , B movies have provided opportunities both for those coming up in the profession and others whose careers are waning . Celebrated filmmakers such as Anthony Mann and Jonathan Demme learned their craft in B movies . They are where actors such as John Wayne and Jack Nicholson first became established , and they have provided work for former A movie actors , such as Vincent Price and Karen Black . Some actors , such as Bela Lugosi , Eddie Constantine and Pam Grier , worked in B movies for most of their careers . The term B actor is sometimes used to refer to a performer who finds work primarily or exclusively in B pictures .

neg: Key demographic The key demographic is a term in television ratings that refers to the most desirable demographic group to a given advertiser . Key demographics vary by network , time of day , and programming type , but they are generally composed of individuals who are younger and more affluent than the general public : `` Young adult viewers have been TV 's target demographic for decades , because they 're thought to have less brand loyalty and more disposable income . '' Most key demographic groups consist of adults who are somewhere in age between 18 and 54 . For example , the key demographic for reality television is women with disposable income aged 18 to 34 whereas for the WB Television Network it is `` eighteen - to thirty-four-year-old , educated , white , affluent viewers '' Television programming is tailored to members of its key demographics : `` Despite the increase in time-shifting to watch recorded television and shows on the Internet , the use of television as an advertising vehicle is still determined by demographic characteristics or who is watching at what time . '' The subset of ratings that only includes the key demographic of 18 - to 49-year-olds is often referred to as the `` key demo '' . Certain radio formats ( especially those dubbed `` classic '' ) and television outlets may target persons 35 to 64 , especially since the late 2000s recession wiped out many career opportunities for millennials , since the 35 -- 64 demographic has much more disposable income .

neg: Good Will Hunting Good Will Hunting is a 1997 American drama film , directed by Gus Van Sant , and starring Robin Williams , Matt Damon , Ben Affleck , Minnie Driver and Stellan Skarsgård .

Through his therapy sessions , Will re-evaluates his relationships with his best friend , his girlfriend and himself , facing the significant task of confronting his past and thinking about his future .   The film received positive reviews and was a financial success . It grossed over US$ 225 million during its theatrical run with only a modest $ 10 million budget . It was nominated for nine Academy Awards , including the Academy Award for Best Picture , and won two : Best Supporting Actor for Williams and Best Original Screenplay for Affleck and Damon .   After Williams ' death in 2014 , it was ranked at number 53 in The Hollywood Reporters `` 100 Favorite Films '' list .

neg: List of teen films Teen film is a film genre targeted at teenagers and young adults in which the plot is based upon the special interests of teenagers and young adults , such as coming of age , first love , rebellion , conflict with parents , teen angst , and alienation . Some of these films are targeted at adults as well as teenagers . Teen films have been a trope of the cinema industry for decades since the 1950s . At this time , the film industry saw a greater market for teens with more disposable income and therefore more money to spend on leisure activities , largely going to films . Because of the boom in teen viewers , drive-in movie theaters were also very popular . However , even the silent era had teen films . Recently , online streaming services such as Netflix have created a resurgence in the `` tween '' and teenage-oriented film .

The genre had early roots in survival games such as DayZ , in which players struggled alongside or against each other to obtain basic necessities to continue living in a persistent sandbox filled with various dangers . This led to the development of other games that lacked open-endedness in favor of focusing on hostile interactions between players to determine an eventual winner . One such game was the Battle Royale mod for ARMA 2 and 3 , which was inspired by the Japanese media franchise of the same name , and from which the genre also took its moniker .

The city also briefly appears in BioShock Infinite , and is featured in its DLC , Burial at Sea .

However , the lack of government made many people uneasy , and the masses turned toward political activists like Atlas who advocated stability under a government , turning the city into a dystopia ; and on the eve of 1959 , a civil war broke out , leaving much of Rapture 's population dead . The remaining citizens either became psychotic `` Splicers '' due to the effects of ADAM , a substance that can alter genetic material , or have barricaded themselves from the Splicers to protect themselves , leaving the city to fail and fall apart around them .   The player first experiences Rapture in BioShock , in 1960 , a year after the fateful riots , as a man named Jack that has come to Rapture after a plane accident over the mid-Atlantic Ocean where the city was located ; during this , the player comes to learn more about Ryan 's motives and those that he struggled against to keep the city 's ideals until the very end . In BioShock 2 , the player takes the role of a `` Big Daddy '' , a heavily modified humanoid in an armored diving suit , designed to maintain the city , and would soon come to serve the purpose of protecting the Little Sisters as they collect ADAM from `` Angels '' , which are dead bodies that harbor significant amounts of ADAM ; this takes place eight years after the events of the first game , and while Ryan has been killed , there remain those that vie for the vacuum left in his position of power .   Rapture makes a brief appearance near the climax of BioShock Infinite , which is otherwise set in a different dystopian city , Columbia .

Released in November 1997 in North America and in February 1998 in Europe , the game was published by Bungie in North America and by Eidos Interactive in Europe . At the time , Bungie was known primarily as developers of Mac games , and The Fallen Lords was the first game they had developed and released simultaneously for both PC and Mac . It is the first game in the Myth series , which also includes a sequel , Myth II : Soulblighter , set sixty years after the events of the first game , and also developed by Bungie , and a prequel , Myth III : The Wolf Age , set one thousand years prior to the events depicted in The Fallen Lords , and developed by MumboJumbo .   The game tells the story of the battle between the forces of the `` Light '' and those of the `` Dark '' for control of an unnamed mythical land . The Dark are led by Balor and a group of lieutenants ( the titular Fallen Lords ) , whilst the Light are led by `` The Nine '' ; powerful sorcerers known as `` Avatara , '' chief amongst whom is Alric . The game begins in the seventeenth year of the war in the West , some fifty years since the rise of Balor , with the forces of Light on the brink of defeat ; almost the entire land is under the dominion of the Dark , with only one major city and a few smaller towns remaining under the control of the Light . The plot follows the activities of `` The Legion '' , an elite unit in the army of the Light , as they attempt to turn back the tide and defeat Balor .   The Fallen Lords received positive reviews from critics , and is credited as a defining title in the fledging real-time tactics genre . Reviewers praised its plot , graphics , gameplay , level design , online multiplayer mode , and differentiation from traditional real-time strategy games . The most often criticized aspects were the difficulty of the single-player campaign , which many reviewers felt was far too high , even on the lowest setting , and some awkwardness in controlling units . The game went on to win multiple awards , including `` Strategy Game of the Year '' from both PC Gamer and Computer Gaming World , and `` Game of the Year '' from both Computer Games Strategy Plus and Macworld . It was also a commercial success , selling over 350,000 units worldwide across both systems , earning back roughly seven times its budget .

The Myth series as a whole , and Soulblighter in particular , supported an active online community for over a decade after the official servers went offline . The first formally organized group of volunteer-programmers was MythDevelopers , who were given access to the game 's source code by Bungie . The most recently active Myth development group is Project Magma , an offshoot of MythDevelopers . These groups have worked to provide ongoing technical support for the games , update them to newer operating systems , fix bugs , release unofficial patches , create mods , and maintain online servers for multiplayer gaming .

neg: Haunting Ground Haunting Ground , known in Japan as Demento , is a survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2 in 2005 . The story follows Fiona Belli , a young girl who wakes up in the dungeon of a castle after being involved in a car accident . She quickly befriends a White Shepherd , Hewie , and begins to explore the castle with his aid to seek a means of escape and unravel the mysteries of it and its inhabitants . The game shares many similarities with Capcom 's earlier survival horror title Clock Tower 3 , and has been described as a spiritual successor to the Clock Tower series .   The player controls Fiona as she explores the environment , evades and hides from enemy pursuers , and occasionally fights against the castle 's inhabitants . Sometimes Fiona will panic when in danger , in which case she begins to run on her own and the player loses some control . Hewie is a central part to the gameplay , and accompanies Fiona throughout the game . He can be given orders to explore the environment , attack enemies , and otherwise aid in Fiona 's survival . Capcom added the dog mechanic during development thinking retailers and players alike would not enjoy a survival horror title with a lone female protagonist .   Haunting Ground was first revealed in September 2004 , and was released next April garnering mixed to average reviews . The graphics and presentation were praised , but critics found the gameplay somewhat repetitive , predictable , and derivative of previous horror titles . The sexual objectification of Fiona was highlighted by some critics as one of the game 's best elements . They found that by illustrating her as an object of desire , the game makes Fiona and therefore the player feel more fragile and endangered , building a more disturbing atmosphere . The fluctuating degree of player control over Fiona has made Haunting Ground a key subject in the study of avatars and their relationship with players in video games .

neg: Shinnenkai A shinnenkai ( Japanese 新年会 , literally `` new year gathering '' ) is the Japanese tradition of welcoming the arrival of the New Year , usually by the drinking of alcohol .   A shinnenkai is generally held among co-workers or friends in January .  Like the many festivals ( matsuri ) and celebrations that the Japanese are known for , a shinnenkai is their way of getting together to celebrate a new year and to make promises to each other to do their best for this year while wishing each other good luck and fortune .   A shinnenkai is similar to a bōnenkai in several ways with just a few exceptions . Both are observed by parties of friends or co-workers or sponsored by a company for their employees . Bōnenkai and shinnenkai are not part of the New Year Shogatsu celebration which lasts until the 3rd of January ; they are instead a way of ending and beginning the year through a group celebration . At a shinnenkai however , some of the Shogatsu festivities can carry over to the New Year 's party like the making of mochitsuki by pounding sweet steamed rice or kagamiwari which is the breaking open of sake barrels with a wooden hammer and drinking together .   This tradition started in the 15th century during the Muromachi period as gatherings to express one 's thanks for each other . At that time , the party was known as noukai ( great achievement gathering ) . Later on in the 18th century a new word was appearing in writings and was since then was known as a bōnenkai or year-end party and a shinnenkai is the same type of celebration .   Although the Japanese have always been a people of great feeling and emotion as in the expression mono no aware , they are more reserved in expressing their feelings to others , so the shinnenkai has been a way of showing public displays of gratitude . This is especially true for the company or business office shinnenkai where they can do bureiko or let their hair down and not worry about the boss/employee formal relationship or the rank and age divisions and have a good time .   When a business decides to have a shinnenkai they take into account several things before planning a party . Some of their concerns are to ensure that enough of the employees and management will attend . They also try to set a generalized cost of no more than 5,000 yen per person ; this is used to cover the cost of the party and to not discourage employees from attending a party that is too expensive . Some companies pay the entire cost of the party and will at times opt to not have the party at a traditional izakaya ( restaurant and drinking places where the majority of shinnenkai are held ) and instead have it on the business premises and save a lot of money in the process .   Statistically more people attend bōnenkai than shinnenkai parties . The majority of those that celebrate a shinnenkai are office co-workers rather than friends .

neg: Surrender of Japan The surrender of Imperial Japan was announced on August 15 and formally signed on September 2 , 1945 , bringing the hostilities of World War II to a close . By the end of July 1945 , the Imperial Japanese Navy ( IJN ) was incapable of conducting major operations and an Allied invasion of Japan was imminent . Together with the British Empire and China , the United States called for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26 , 1945 -- the alternative being `` prompt and utter destruction '' . While publicly stating their intent to fight on to the bitter end , Japan 's leaders ( the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War , also known as the `` Big Six '' ) were privately making entreaties to the still-neutral Soviet Union to mediate peace on terms more favorable to the Japanese . Meanwhile , the Soviets were preparing to attack Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea ( in addition to South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands ) in fulfillment of promises they had secretly made to the United States and the United Kingdom at the Tehran and Yalta Conferences .   On August 6 , 1945 , at 8:15 AM local time , the United States detonated an atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima . Sixteen hours later , American President Harry S. Truman called again for Japan 's surrender , warning them to `` expect a rain of ruin from the air , the like of which has never been seen on this earth . '' Late in the evening of August 8 , 1945 , in accordance with the Yalta agreements , but in violation of the Soviet -- Japanese Neutrality Pact , the Soviet Union declared war on Japan , and soon after midnight on August 9 , 1945 , the Soviet Union invaded the Imperial Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo . Later in the day , the United States dropped a second atomic bomb , this time on the Japanese city of Nagasaki . Following these events , Emperor Hirohito intervened and ordered the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War to accept the terms the Allies had set down in the Potsdam Declaration for ending the war . After several more days of behind-the-scenes negotiations and a failed coup d'état , Emperor Hirohito gave a recorded radio address across the Empire on August 15 . In the radio address , called the , he announced the surrender of Japan to the Allies .   On August 28 , the occupation of Japan by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers began . The surrender ceremony was held on September 2 , aboard the United States Navy battleship , at which officials from the Japanese government signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender , thereby ending the hostilities . Allied civilians and military personnel alike celebrated V-J Day , the end of the war ; however , some isolated soldiers and personnel from Imperial Japan 's far-flung forces throughout Asia and the Pacific islands refused to surrender for months and years afterwards , some even refusing into the 1970s . The role of the atomic bombings in Japan 's unconditional surrender , and the ethics of the two attacks , is still debated . The state of war formally ended when the Treaty of San Francisco came into force on April 28 , 1952 . Four more years passed before Japan and the Soviet Union signed the Soviet -- Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956 , which formally brought an end to their state of war .

The plant was first introduced to Europe by John Gould Veitch in September 1860 .

neg: Mina (singer) Anna Maria Quaini ( born 25 March 1940 ) , known as Mina Mazzini or simply Mina , is an Italian singer . She was a staple of television variety shows and a dominant figure in Italian pop music from the 1960s to the mid-1970s , known for her three-octave vocal range , the agility of her soprano voice , and her image as an emancipated woman .   In performance , Mina combined several modern styles with traditional Italian melodies and swing music , which made her the most versatile pop singer in Italian music . Mina dominated the country 's charts for fifteen years and reached an unsurpassed level of popularity . She has scored 79 albums and 71 singles on the Italian charts .   Mina 's TV appearances in 1959 were the first for a female rock and roll singer in Italy . Her loud syncopated singing earned her the nickname Queen of Screamers . The public also labeled her the Tiger of Cremona for her wild gestures and body shakes . When she turned to light pop tunes , Mina 's chart-toppers in West Germany in 1962 and Japan in 1964 earned her the title of the best international artist in these countries . Mina 's more refined sensual manner was introduced in 1960 with Gino Paoli 's ballad `` This World We Love In '' , which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961 .   Mina was banned from TV and radio in 1963 because her pregnancy and relationship with a married actor did not accord with the dominant Catholic and bourgeois morals . After the ban , the public broadcasting service RAI tried to continue to prohibit her songs , which were forthright in dealing with subjects such as religion , smoking and sex . Mina 's cool act combined sex appeal with public smoking , dyed blonde hair , and shaved eyebrows to create a `` bad girl '' image .   Mina 's voice has distinctive timbre and great power . Her main themes are anguished love stories performed in high dramatic tones . The singer combined classic Italian pop with elements of blues , R&B and soul music during the late 1960s , especially when she worked in collaboration with the singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti . Top Italian songwriters created material with large vocal ranges and unusual chord progressions to showcase her singing skills , particularly `` Brava '' by Bruno Canfora ( 1965 ) and the pseudo-serial `` Se telefonando '' by Ennio Morricone ( 1966 ) . The latter song was covered by several performers abroad . Shirley Bassey carried Mina 's ballad `` Grande grande grande '' to charts in the U.S. , U.K. , and other English-speaking countries in 1973 . Mina 's easy listening duet `` Parole parole '' was turned into a worldwide hit by Dalida and Alain Delon in 1974 . Mina gave up public appearances in 1978 but has continued to release popular albums on a yearly basis to the present day .

neg: Kōshin or is a folk faith in Japan with Taoist origins , influenced by Shinto , Buddhism and other local beliefs . A typical event related to the faith is called , held on the Kōshin days that occur every 60 days in accordance with the Chinese sexagenary cycle .   On this day some believers stay awake to prevent , entities believed to live inside the body of believers from leaving it during that night in order to report the good and specially the bad deeds of the believer to the god Ten-Tei .   It is not clearly certain when such custom arrived or came into fashion in Japan , although it is believed that by some time in the 9th century it had been already practiced at least by aristocrats . A Japanese monk called Ennin wrote is his travel book upon visiting Tang China in 838 , that `` Tonight people are not sleeping . It is the same as in our country on Kōshin nights . '' In the Muromachi period , Buddhist monks started to write about the Kōshin , which led to wider popularity of the faith among public . Numerous monuments or pillars called ( or also ) were erected all over the country and the faith remained very popular through the Edo period . When the Meiji Government issued the Shinto and Buddhism Separation Order in 1872 , folk beliefs were turned down as superstitious , Kōshin belief too losing popularity as a result .   Today , the Kōshin belief still survives , although it is far less popular and receives smaller recognition than it once did , due to the absence of any central organization to help promote such faith because of its folkloric nature . While many Kōshin-tō were moved , for example , to inside Buddhist temples or even to private houses to be protected , there are many remaining along historical roads as well . There are also well maintained , built in respect for the Kōshin , sometimes attached to Buddhist temples , or otherwise in stand-alone .
