    Extractions: In the Kudan District of Chiyoda ward, Tokyo sitting on top of Kudan Hill is and old Japanese Shinto Shrine. Walking up to the Shrine, visitors see the characteristic torii gateway that serves as the entrance to all Shinto Shrines. Just beyond the entrance are a group of buildings that do not look much different from those in any other Shinto Shrine. But this is Yasukuni Jinja. This Shrine has been the topic of great controversy in Japan since the end of World War II. It is the home to the souls of more than 2.5 million Japanese war dead. Included among these 2.5 million souls are fourteen convicted Class A war criminals, including Tojo Hideki who was the Japanese War Minister during World War II. This page is dedicated to educating the public about this magnificent, yet controversial Shrine. Yasukuni was established in 1869. The original name of the Shrine was Sho-kon-sha, meaning "the shrine for inviting the spirits." The name was changed to its present name of Yasukuni Jinja in 1879. The actual physical structure of the Shrine is much like that of any other Shinto shrine. It has a torii gateway followed by a few different buildings that serve different religious or ceremonial purposes at the Shrine. The one significant difference at Yasukuni is the presence of Japan's only public modern military musuem, which opened in 1872. The museum contains many types of war vehicles, tanks, and weaponry. Those who support the Shrine believe this museum is a symbol of Japan's glorious military past. Those who oppose the Shrine say it is indeed a symbol of Japan's past, but it is a brutal and oppressive past.

There are three general types of Shinto, all closely inter-related. Shrine Shinto (Jinja Shinto) is the principle form, in existence from the beginning of Japanese history, through which others act. Folk Shinto (Minzoku Shinto) is a sub-string of this, centered on the veneration of small roadside images, with a particular focus on agricultural rites. Sect Shinto (Kyoha Shinto) has developed during and since the 19th century, with about 13 forms currently in existence, each one having a founder who sought to systemise Shinto belief. A fourth, State Shinto (Kokka Shinto) was an attempt to identify religion and state together, effectively rendering the Japanese monarch as Divine, but was discontinued after the Second World War (1939-1945).

    http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/shinto/ryobu.html
    
    Extractions: Doctrines Ryobu (dual) Shinto refers to the interpretation of local Japanese deities which is associated with Shingon esoteric Buddhism, and the practices which flowed from that interpretation. Ryobu Shinto held that the sun-deity Amaterasu enshrined at Ise was the manifestation of the esoteric dharmakaya Buddha Dainichi (Great Sun), the central Buddha of Shingon. According to this interpretation the status of the native kami was raised from local folk deities and ancestral spirits to manifestations of Buddhas and bodhisattvas, different but potentially equal to the most revered objects of worship in Shingon. History Ryobu Shinto was developed in the Kamakura period and maintained by the Shingon school of Buddhism until the Meiji restoration. Ryobu Shinto strongly influenced esoteric interpretations of Shinto such as that of the Watarai clan at Ise, and Yui-itsu (Yoshida) Shinto. Great temple-shrine complexes which developed in the medieval period were founded on the principles of Ryobu Shinto. In these shrine-temple complexes kami were identified with specific Buddhas and bodhisattvas, and rituals were performed by Buddhist priest for the kami. Ryobu Shinto also influenced the development of shugendo, the syncretic mountain-religion. Symbols The symbols of Ryobu Shinto are the 'womb' and 'diamond' mandala (taizokai and kongokai) representing the essence and manifestation of reality.

    Extractions: The term Shinto ("way of the kami") came into use to distinguish indigenous Japanese beliefs from Buddhism, which had been introduced into Japan in the 6th century AD. Shinto has no founder and no official scripture, though its mythology is collected in the Kojiki ("Records of Ancient Matters") and Nihon shoki ("Chronicles of Japan"), written in the 8th century At its core are beliefs in the mysterious creating and harmonizing power of kami. According to Shinto myths, in the beginning a certain number of kami simply emerged, and a pair of kami, Izanagi and Izanami, gave birth to the Japanese islands, as well as to the kami who became ancestors of the various clans.

    Extractions: Profile History Beliefs Links ... References Name: Shintoism Founder: Shintoism does not have a founder, but it is rooted in ancient Japanese mythology and history. This history was orally transmitted between generations of Japanese people prior to the introduction of Buddhism in the sixth century A.D. Date of Birth: DNA Birth Place: DNA Year Founded: There is no exact date as to when Shintoism was founded, for it encompasses rituals and customs that began in Japan during ancient times. However, the introduction of Buddhism and Confucianism to Japan in 552 A.D. prompted the adoption of the term "Shinto" to differentiate the religious history of Japan. Sacred or Revered Texts: Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters): 712 A.D. Engishiki or Yengishiki (Procedures of the Engi Era): 927 A.D. The Kojiki and Nihongi texts are not actually "sacred" by the traditional, religious definition. In other words, they are not comparable to the Bible for Christianity or the Torah for Judaism. However, they are useful to the Shinto religion because they contain the first comprehensive writings on the history of Japan and Japanese mythology, wherein Shintoism has its roots. The most significant myth to the Shinto religion is the creation myth, which is described in the beliefs section below.

    Extractions: Families of Religions Shinto No deity Beginning in the clans and families of historic Japan, seasonal agricultural rites were celebrated. Spirits or kami residing in natural things provided a pervasive spiritual atmosphere. Shinto moved through a time of state religion. Today the emphasis is on local, nature based religious observance. Shrines host ritual observances, rites of passage, and festivals. Every shrine has at least one torii - a special gateway. It signifies the boundary between the secular world and the sacred. Purification rituals grow out of a concern over continuity, balance and purity in life. Links: Guide to Japan Shrines An introduction to present day religion in Japan

    Extractions: The Urantia Book's synopsis of Shinto VII. SHINTO The Religion of Nature Worship, Emperor Worship, and Purity Shinto (the way of the gods), traditionally dating back to 660 B. C., is a loosely organized religion of the Japanese people embracing a wide variety of beliefs and practices. In its most basic sense Shinto is a religious form of Japanese patriotism. The mythology of Shintoism teaches that Japan and the Japanese people were brought into being by special divine creation and that their emperors were literally descendants of the Sun Goddess. In Japan a person may in good conscience be a Buddhist, a Confucian, and a member of a Shinto sect at the same time. Today (1982) Shintoism reports 57,154,200 members. The two most important sacred books of Shintoism are the Kojiki (Chronicles of Ancient Events) and the Nihongi (Chronicles of Japan). The Kojiki mythology reports that in the beginning were the kami (gods, mana, occult force). Two of these primeval kami or deities were Izanagi (male-who-invites) and Izanami (female who-invites). After giving birth to the land of Japan they produced many other kami.

    Extractions: Shinto (or kannagara no michi, Today, there are more than 80,000 Shinto shrines that are scattered all over the Japanese archipelago. There deities are worshiped and rituals are still performed according to the general patterns established by the state for all shrines in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yet this is carried out in keeping with localized tradition and regional or community preferences. Regionality of Shinto religious practice accounts for great diversity in Shinto, while those different instances share certain basic beliefs and values. It is impossible to consider the topic of Shinto and ecology without making reference to the broader issue of Japanese cultural attitudes to the natural environment. This is because what one might describe as Shinto beliefs are often values that are entrenched in Japanese folk culture in general, and which find expression in other areas beyond religion, from sociopolitical organization to aesthetics, and so on. Yet, as Conrad Totman has noted in his work on the history of forestry in Japan

    Extractions: Z Kami In Shinto their are eight million kami, however the number eight was also used to denote many, so lets just say their are lots of them. Every rock, animal, spring, emotion, quality and even person has a kami associated with it. The spirits of the dead are even kami. At some point it would be useful to define exactly what is a kami. There are number of possible answers to this, from the western perspective the easiest answer would be just to call them gods (in the Greek and Roman panthiestic tradition), but I think this mis-reperesents things. When your father dies his spirit becomes a kami. They quite literally permeate every aspect of Shinto culture. These pages originally are derived from notes I took while investigating the subject. They are by no means perfect but I do my best to keep it accurate. The accuracy of mythology is very difficult to asertain because of conflicting version of stories. If you know nothing about the kami I suggest you start with Amaterasu and Susano . Then move on to Izanagi and Izanami Random Notes Kojiki - Records of Ancient Matters. Written in A.D. 712. One of two books setting forth the mythological past of Shinto. Was written in Chinese characters, but contains peculiarities of Japanese syntax missing from the Kojiki. The book was written from the spoken word of Hyeda no Are (who is believed to be woman). Appeared in the reign of Empress Gensho (715-723), but was commissioned by Empress Gemmio (708-715). The book was written by the court to legitimize the celestial origins of the court and Japan. It contains myths, legends, anecdotes and folk etymologies centered around the imperial and other leading families. It contains three books arranged in chronological fashion. Book one is the "Age of the Gods", Book two is about the first 15 emperors

    Caracter­sticas e influencia del shinto en el poema que lleva el mismo nombre, de Borges.

    Extractions: Año I Nº 2 Diciembre 2000 La lírica japonesa y Jorge Luis Borges Doctora Graciela Susana Puente 1. Las características del shinto; su fundamentación en el sintoísmo y en el taoísmo. Su influencia en el poema «Shinto» de Jorge Luis Borges Los registros más arcanos de la lírica japonesa son los cantos de tradición oral y los textos que se nuclean en el shinto. Es ésta una voz china que significa «camino de los dioses» de la cual deriva sintoísmo, religión primitiva del Japón, basada en el politeísmo dentro de la naturaleza (y vivificada por la gratitud de sus dones) y en el culto de sus ancestros. Dos obras son receptoras configurativas de los mitos sintoístas: el Nihongi y el Kojim , que incluyen oraciones rituales, baladas y leyendas míticas. El sintoísmo está influido por el taoísmo chino, doctrina teológica milenaria, cuyas originarias enseñanzas se remontan a la época de Lao-Tsé. El taoísmo ofrece dos aspectos dogmáticos: el científico, según el cual, un primer principio, concentrado e inactivo, el Tao, al mutarse en acto produjo el cielo, la tierra, y el aire, primordialidades de las que han derivado los entes y los seres. El Tao todo lo informa y ocupa; no piensa, pero sobre él se medita; no desea, pero es el principio organizador legal; es la fuente de emanación del destino personal; en cada ser se contiene el ánima indivisa y participante del principio universal. Según el ideologema pragmático, propone el taoísmo que el hombre ha de meditar según sus mayores posibilidades, dentro del tiempo concedido de existencia, para lograr que su encarnadura sea una vivencia hasta el término de vida. De esta postulación deriva el culto taoísta por la higiene, el régimen, la continencia.
