We get them here at least once a month or so. But I usually am the one to answer the doorbell, and put on my 'Oh, sorry but I don't speak Japanese' face. They smile, excuse themselves, and move on to the next door. Not at all pushy. Of much more force are the 'Sokka Gakai' folks, a new sect of Buddhism that is gaining force around the world. They don't take no for an answer!
