The temple sex scene has also caused upset in South Korea where some opponents are trying to organise a boycott of the film before it opens.
I am sure there won't be a protest in Japan about the temple sex scene. Shrine/temple sex scenes have been a staple of the Japanese film industry. The standard film cliche is a couple getting caught in a sudden summer downpour- and taking refuge in an empty shrin--wet clothes---conversation lull--- nature takes its course---and Kamisami are pleased.
