Shintoism, Shinto General Information Shintoism was the primitive religion of Japan before the coming of Buddhism, which is currently the main religion of Japan. Shintoism is a very simple religion. It gives only one command, the necessity of being loyal to one's ancestors. Its early aspects were naturalistic, which included spiritism, totemism, nature worship, and a crude sort of monotheism. Early Japanese worshipped the sun, thunder, earth, volcanoes, tigers, serpents, trees, shrubs, vines, etc. and even stones. A later stage is more intellectual and ethically oriented. The only deity actually recognized in higher Shintoism is the spiritualized human mind. For the masses, Shintoism has about 800,000 gods, mostly the deified heroes of the Japanese. The chief god is Amaterasu, the Sun God, from whom the Imperial Family of Japan traces its roots. BELIEVE Religious Information Source web-site Our List of 1,000 Religious Subjects E-mail Shintoism General Information A linguistic definition of Shinto is somewhat anathema to Shinto. But anyway, Shinto is awash with idols. There is (almost) no god that you cannot point to. Shinto approves of the representation of God in the material. Having said that, in Shinto thought too there is an insistence that God is spiritual: the kami is the power in the mountain, the tree, the sun and not these objects themselves. But Shinto is extremely "idol tolerant". Conversely, Shinto is I believe, very logo-clastic, it believes that God can not and

Shinto From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Shintoism A torii at Itsukushima Shrine Shinto Shintō ) (sometimes called Shintoism ) is a native religion of Japan and was once its state religion . It involves the worship of kami , which can be translated to mean gods spirits of nature, or just spiritual presences. Some kami are local and can be regarded as the spirit or genius of a particular place, but others represent major natural objects and processes, for example, Amaterasu , the Sun goddess . The word Shinto was created by combining two kanji shin meaning god (the character can also be read as "kami" in Japanese) and "道" tō meaning Tao ("way" or "path" in a philosophical sense). Thus, Shinto means "the way of the gods." After World War II, Shinto lost its status of state religion ; some Shinto practices and teachings, once given a great deal of prominence during the war, are no longer taught nor practiced today, and some remain largely as everyday activities without religious connotations like omikuji (a form of drawing lots Contents History Early History Shinto and Buddhism State Shinto ... edit History edit Early History The earliest origins of Shinto are lost to history, but it seems to have been established by the late

Major Religions of the World Shintoism Shinto, the Chinese term for the Japanese Kami no Michi (Way of the Gods), is made up of the religious ideas and cults indigenous to Japan. Kami, or gods, considered divine forces of nature that are worshipped, may reside in rivers, trees, rocks, mountains, certain animals, and particularly in the sun and moon. The worship of ancestors, heroes, and deceased emperors was incorporated later. It is difficult to date the origins of Shinto, but it predated Buddhism, which was introduced to Japan in the sixth century from Korea. Shintoism gradually enfolded Buddhist beliefs and ceremonies into its own traditions, resulting in a syncretistic religion, a Twofold Shinto. Buddhist deities came to be regarded as manifestations of Japanese deities and Buddhist priests took over most of the Shinto shrines. The centers of worship are the shrines and temples in which the deities are believed to dwell, and believers approach them through

Number of followers and their geographical distribution Shinto is practised almost exclusively in Japan. It is very hard to estimate the overall numbers of Shintoists because it is possible to practice Shinto and Buddhism at the same time. According to some estimates about 100 million Japanese practice a combination of the two religions. History Shinto is the native religion of Japan and has no founder. Originally, Shinto was a blend of rites, myths, beliefs, techniques of divination , and customs that were deeply rooted in the everyday life of the Japanese people. At first this complex of practices and beliefs had no name, and it was only with the advent of Buddhism in Japan (in the 6th century CE) that it came to be called Shinto (which means "the way of the gods"). From the 6th to the 8th century Shinto and Buddhism coexisted peacefully in Japan, but then the state of symbiosis gave to way to complete fusion. In the 12th century, Shinto also combined with

Shintoism World war II saw a setback within Shinto ("the Way of the Gods") Japan. Emperor worship began to decline as Western presence and values began to reshape the post-war country. But religious tradition dies hard and there exists many factions of Shintoism in Japan today. Appreciation and communion with the natural world are among the noble virtues of Shintoism. Japanese nature poetry, often short, expresses the Japanese affection for creation: "E'en in a single leaf of a tree Or a tender blade of grass, The awe-inspiring Deity Manifests itself." A part of community and Japanese culture, nature festivals such as the Insect Hearing Festival occur seasonally. Thousands of Japanese will sit outdoors for hours in the fall, listening to the music of the insects. In early spring, shops are closed occasional during the cherry blossom season that the Japanese people can go outdoors to drink in of the lush pink beauty. Others stare for hours at the moon or contemplate the beauty of a garden (Japanese gardens are famous) or even study the intricacies of a leaf. The Shinto affection for all things natural has brought the creative side out in the Japanese who have a keen sensitivity even to the various pitches of running water. Rocks are arranged within streams to arrive at the desire musical effect.

Buddhism Hinduism Jainism Sikhism ... Paganism Shintoism Shinto is an all-pervading indefinable way which is quite universal. Shinto or Kaminomichi or the way of the Kami or the Gods is the name of the religion observed by the Japanese from time immemorial. ‘Kami’ means God or deity, or sometimes soul. Shinto implies spontaneous following of the ‘Way of the Gods’. Shinto is not really an ‘ism’. It is only a teaching. It is not a set of verbal theories or concepts. It is the all-pervading way. It is very difficult to translate ‘Shinto’ into English. ‘Shinto’ means ‘The way of the Gods’ or the ‘God-like way’ or ‘The way from the Gods’. There is no proper equivalent for the term ‘Shinto’ in English. Shinto is an all-pervading, indefinable way which is quite universal. Shinto is divided into two classes, viz., the Sectarian Shinto, which is sub-divided into 13 sects; and the Shinto of the national faith of the Japanese, or the State Shinto Religion. A perfect understanding of Shinto will enable one to have proper understanding of the Japanese nation and their culture. There is neither much grand philosophy nor complicated ritual in Shintoism. Shinto is not a religion adopted by the State. It is a religion of the heart. Shinto is a natural and real spiritual force which pervades the life of the Japanese. Shinto is a creative or formative principle of life. The Shinto principle is the background of Japanese culture, code of ethics, fine arts, family and national structure. Shinto is the chief agent which has rejuvenated, vitalised and reinforced the social and religious life of Japan.
