    Extractions: Japanese indigenous religion of central importance in Japanese culture and history from the earliest times. As intimately bound up with its associated national character as, for example, Hinduism is with Indian identity, Shinto exists only in Japan, where it underlies many of the basic structures of family and social life. It also furnished the founding ideology of Japan's development as a modern nation-state. Its pervasiveness is partly due to its capacity to coexist happily with other religions, especially Buddhism. Practices and Beliefs Shinto is a polytheistic religion, venerating a vast pantheon of kami (gods or spirits) which range from the local deities of mountains or streams to the sun goddess Amaterasu . Natural phenomena and particular places are personified as kami , dead statesmen or other notables could be deified as kami , families or craft traditions revered their forefathers as kami , the reigning emperor was long regarded as a living kami . A kami could loosely be termed the "spirit" of virtually any aspect of existence possessing its own discrete identity and vital force (

It originated in prehistoric times and has long played an important role in Japanese society. The major shrines around the country have often been power bases, closely tied with Imperial and shogunal powers. Unlike the world's major religions, Shinto has no fixed dogma, moral precepts, or sacred scriptures. Perhaps for this reason, most Japanese quite easily incorporate Shinto into their way of life alongside Buddhism and even elements of Christianity without feeling a strong attachment to or having a passionate belief in any of them. Shinto is practiced at

    Extractions: Shinto—“the way of the kami ”— is rooted deeply in pre-historic Japanese religious and agricultural practices. The term kami can refer to Japanese mythological deities, but also can mean divinity manifested in natural objects, places, animals, and even human beings. Shinto rituals and celebrations stress harmony between deities, man, and nature a key feature of Japanese religious life and art to the present time. Reflecting the understanding that the kami resides in nature, Shinto shrines were traditionally near unusual “concentrations” of nature such as waterfalls, caves, rock formations, mountain tops, or forest glens. Rather than buildings, shrines of the earliest age were sacred precincts such as mounds, groves, or caves. Rituals were held outdoors, among natural surroundings, with no particular structure for them. For example, the foremost ritual of Shinto priests, the purification (

    Extractions: Shinto The Japanese mythology relates that there was the goddess of the sun and the ruler of the heaven named Amaterasu Amaterasu peeked out from behind a jumbo rock blocking the cave's entrance. The dancing goddess held up a mirror and said, "We are dancing to celebrate for a new goddess." Amaterasu came out to see the new goddess, but what she saw was her own reflection. A powerful god grabbed her out and told never to hide again. Amaterasu . Though not often referred to today, the Japanese calendar year starts from 660 B.C., the year of his accession. The reigning emperors were considered to be the direct descendant of the Sun Goddess and revered as a living god at one time or another. When the Pacific War was imminent in 1940, the fascist government was boasting it was the year of 2600 to exalt the national prestige, and it even made a song cerebrating the 2600th year. Entering the medieval ages, emperors and Shinto lost the reigning power and the nation was gradually controlled by the military rulers. The process of blending Buddhism with Shinto progressed, and in the Heian Period (794-1185) Shinto deities came to be recognized as incarnation of the Lord Buddha. The case in point was emerging of the syncretic school that combined Shinto with the teachings of the Shingon sect Buddhism. The basis of the school's belief was that Shinto deities were manifestation of Buddha divinities. Most important was the identification of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu

    Extractions: Some Basic Concepts in Shinto History and Development The word "Shinto" is derived from the Chinese terms shen and tao , which translate roughly as "the way of the gods." The traditional Japanese term is kami-no-michi , which also means "the way of the gods." At its most fundamental level, Shinto refers to the spiritual consciousness and ritual practices that are indigenous to the people of Japan. While it embraces a wide variety of beliefs and practices, Shinto neither acknowledges a founder nor adheres to a particular creed or doctrine. Now along with this, it must also be said that the Japanese have no particular formal word for "religion" in and of itself. In a sense, then, what people do, ritually speaking, is simply what they do. The Japanese word matsuri means "rites" or "festivals." From ancient times, many of these rites became associated with the royal family or imperial household as the spiritual mediators between the temporal and eternal realms. Through this association, the term matsuri-goto (literally, "affairs of spiritual festivals") came to refer to "government" as a whole, and continues to mean this today.

    Extractions: Shinto Religion of Japan Shinto is the traditional, indigenous Japanese religion. Buddhism, also practiced by nearly all Japanese, did not arrive until around 650AD. Most Japanese participate in both religions, but today, Buddhism tends to be responsible for deaths and funerals, because it has more to say about the afterlife (and because Shinto views death and dead bodies as poluting - not appropriate for their priesthood to deal with). Very few Japanese are Christian (about 1%), but many Christian Japanese also participate in Shinto rites as well. Shinto is centered on ` KAMI' (innumerable gods or spirits) of places, families, communities who interact with us. Kami are: Mostly associated with some particular place - a grove of impressive trees, a waterfall, a town, village, valley, etc. The kami are believed to move among their shrines and to reside in a small house-shaped box built for them at the shrine (or jinja Usually beneficent, but not always. Occassionally they may be vengeful. Many kami are the spirits of deceased ancestors, emperors, prominent military figures, important animals (tiger, fox, etc), waterfalls, forests, distinctive rocks, rivers, etc.
