Synopsis:
An introduction to the Japanese religion. Shinto, the idigenous faith of the Japanese people, continues to fascinate and mystify both the casual visitor to Japan and the long-time resident. This book unveils Shinto's spiritual characteristics and discusses the architecture and function of Shinto shrines. Further examination of Shinto's lively festivals, worship, music, and sacred regalia illustrates Shinto's influence on all levels of Japanese life. Illustrations also introduce the reader to two millenia of indigenous Japanese belief in the Kami - the sacred spirits worshipped in Shinto - and in communal life, the way of the Kami.
"An excellently rounded introduction by an eminent Shinto scholar." Library Journal. |
